Which consequence results when electron shielding decreases in atomic orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Decreased electron shielding leads to enhanced effective nuclear charge because the remaining electrons experience a greater attractive force from the nucleus; therefore, the effective nuclear charge rises, rather than atomic radius increasing or spin-orbit coupling minimizing under unaltered conditions.
