Answer:

the shielding of electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The nucleus pulls electrons to itself due to the net positive charge on it.
  • As more electronic shell is added, the effect of the pull weakens outward.
  • The inner shell experiences the nuclear pull more than the outer shell electrons.
