Screening Effect

I am a little confused between these terms> Shielding effect,screening effect,sheilding power,screening power Are all these terms same? Do the inner electrons absorb or suck up the nuclear force of attraction by some extent or they just repel the test electron or they do both? does shielding power mean the the strength or capacity of inner electrons to suck up or decrease effective nuclear charge?

Shielding Effect Screening Effect same thing and last two are same thing more than electrons it has to do with orbitals more specifically shape of orbitals

u see these orbitals shape the S orbital electrons are everywhere so they "Screen" the force the best

so how do they screen like they dont let the full force get out of it (say s orbital)? whats the diff between shielding and screening effect/power?

its kind of complicated since classical mechanics does not apply The Phenomena by which the force on last shell e is reduced is called screening effect And how much the force reduces is decided by power so S has highest Screening Power
