| Nuclear Charge (z) | Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom |
| Effective nuclear charge (Z eff) | Magnitude of positive charge that is experienced by the electron in an atom. |
| Shielding | Electrons being repelled by each other but attracted to the nucleus. |
| From left to right across a period, Z eff... | increases steadily |
