Result
Effective Charge Calculator Calculate the effective nuclear charge (Z*) experienced by an electron using Slater's rules. — free online calculator.
Formula
- Effective Charge Calculator calculates its result from Atomic number, Shielding constant. It uses the formula Z-sigma. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Atomic number, Shielding constant. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the units, labels and assumptions shown beside each input so the formula is applied consistently.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Effective Charge
- Atomic number: 10
- Shielding constant: 2
Using Atomic number = 10, Shielding constant = 2, the calculated result is 8.
