← ScienceWhich consequence results when electron correlation increases in helium atom orbitals?
A)Increased ionization energy required
B)Decreased electron shielding occurs
C)Diamagnetic susceptibility increases sharply
D)Effective nuclear charge decreases steadily✓
💡 Explanation
Increasing electron correlation causes effective nuclear charge experienced by each electron to decrease because electrons spend more time further apart due to the Coulomb repulsion; therefore, the effective nuclear charge decreases, rather than ionization energy increasing like it would under different conditions.
