Many-Electron AtomsWe have to examine the balance of attractions and repulsions in the
atom to explain why subshells of a given shell have different energies. As well as being attracted by the nucleus, each electron in a many-electron atom is repelled by the other electrons present. As a result, it is less tightly bound to the nucleus than it would be if those other electrons were absent. We say that each electron is shielded from the full attraction of the nucleus by the other electrons in the atom. The shielding effectively reduces the pull of the nucleus on an electron. The effective nuclear charge, Zeff, experienced by the electron is always less than the actual nuclear charge, Z, because the electron-electron repulsions work against the pull of the nucleus. Note that the other electrons do not “block” the influence of the nucleus; they simply provide additional repulsive coulombic interactions that partly counteract the pull of the nucleus. Finally, an s-electron of any shell can be found very close to the nucleus, so we say that it can penetrate through the inner shells. A p-electron penetrates much less. Because a p-electron penetrates less than an s-electron through the inner shells of the atom, it is more effectively shielded from the nucleus and hence experiences a smaller effective nuclear charge than an s-electron does. That is, an s-electron is bound more tightly than a p-electron and has a slightly lower (more negative) energy. In a many-electron atom, because of the effects of penetration and shielding, the order of energies of orbitals in a given shell is typically s < p < d < f.
