Electron Shielding Shielding electrons are the electrons in the energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons.
{"Image DocumentName": "Electron ShieldingShielding electrons are the electrons in the energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons.", "Image ImageDescription": "They are called shielding electrons because they shield the valence electrons from the force of attraction exerted by the positive charge in the nucleus. Shielding increases as you move down the periodic table. Adding energy levels. Shielding has no effect as you move across the table from left to right. Not adding energy levels.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
