Screening constant is calculated using Slater’s Rule as follows
- The electronic configuration of given element is written as follows(1s)(2s,2p)(3s,3p)(3d)(4s,4p)(4d)(4f)(5s,5p)(5d)…
- Electrons to the right of the electron of interest do not contribute to shielding constant.
- All other electrons in the ns and np group contribute to an extent of 0.35 each to the screening constant except 1s group which contribute to an extent of 0.30.
- All the electrons in (n-1) the shell contribute to 0.85.
- All the electrons in (n-2) or lower hell contribute 1 each.
- For d and f electrons rule 1 to 3 are same. In place of 4 and rule 7 is applicable
- All the electrons in the group lying to left to the nd and nf group contribute 1.0 each
