Electron shielding is not a factor across a period because they all have the same number of electron shells! No further (extra) shells means that they are all affected by electron shielding equally.

The electrons within a given shell do not screen each other, but those in lower shells do. Since the lower shells are the same for all elements in a period, the shielding effect is constant for a given period.

The causes of shielding effect to remain constant across a period due to electron being added to the same principle energy level. Electrons are subatomic particle that plays the greatest part in determining the properties of an element.

An electron shielding decreases the attraction between electrons. It is not a factor when examining a trend across a period because they all have the same number of electron shells.

It does, but there just isn't enough of it (density, or height) to provide any significant increase in protection.


What is the effect of varying the temperature on the volume of a constant mass of a gas at a constant pressure?

the relation is given by charles law which says that the volume of a constant mass of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature so increase in temperature causes an increASE in the volume

Coriolis effect


What is the consequeces of sheilding effect?

The shielding effect in chemistry refers to inner electrons shielding outer electrons from the attraction of the nucleus in an atom. This results in a decrease in the effective nuclear charge felt by the outer electrons, leading to changes in atomic and chemical properties such as ionization energy and atomic size in elements across a period.


Reducing the current you a circuit causes what?

Reducing the current to a circuit causes a higher resistance -- assuming constant Volts. Also, reducing the current to a circuit causes lower Volts -- assuming constant resistance.AnswerAltering the current has absolutely no effect on a circuit's resistance. Reducing the current will reduce line losses (I2R) and reduce the voltage drop along a conductor.


What is the uncertainty of a constant value?

It is the accuracy in the estimate of the constant or the effect of rounding.


Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth's surface?

The Coriolis effect is when global winds appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the earth's surface.

How a dynamo woks?

Dynamo has constant magnet inside.When movement comes up ,magnet starts turning .And outside of magnet has coiled wire .So this movement of magnet causes electromagnetic effect .Finally current consists with this electomagnetic effect.


What trend does electronegativity follow?

In electronegativity, the first ionization energy increases as it moves from left to right across a period . The nuclear charge also increases and the shielding effect is constant when moving across.
