Slater's rules are a set of guidelines used in quantum chemistry and atomic physics to approximate the effective nuclear charge (\\(Z_\{\\text\{eff\}\}\\)) experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom. Developed by John C. Slater, these rules provide a way to account for the shielding effect that occurs due to the presence of other electrons in the atom.
