| Effective Nuclear Charge | Pull that electron feels from nucleus the closer the electron feels from nucleus the closer the electron is to nucleus the greater the change |
| Shielding | Blocking the effective nuclear charge by energy levels |
| Ionization Energy | Energy required to remove an electron from an atom |
