Q. How do the following changes occur on moving from top to bottom in d group?
Effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electrons. What is  Z e f f ?

The effective nuclear charge or Zeff  is the net charge an electron experiences in an atom with multiple electrons. Higher energy electrons can have other lower energy electrons between the electron and the nucleus, effectively lowering the positive charge experienced by the high energy electron.
