What is screening constant for outer electron of H?

Slater's rule is used to calculare the shielding constant (sigma) in multielectron systemnm and the electronic configuration the element in the following order and groupings : (1s),(2s,2p),(3s,3p),(4s,4p),(4d),(4f),(5s,5p), etc. in which of the following element outer shell s electrons and penultimate shell d electron does not experience same Z effective value ?

Due to screening effect of electrons in an atom

Effective nuclear charge (Z_(eff)) is the net attractive force on electrons under consideration and is equal to: Z_(eff) = Z - sigma (nuclear charge - screening constant). Z_(eff) or sigma is calculated by Slater's formula, as given. If one electrons is present in the outermst orbit, there will be no screening in that orbital. Each electrons contribute, 0.35 (total electrons minus one electron) present in the outermost shell. A contribution of 0.85 for each electrons is taken in the (n - 1)th shell. The screening constant (sigma) for 4s electron of Mn (Z = 25) will be
