The subshell with the lowest effective nuclear charge is typically the 1s subshell. This is because electrons in the 1s subshell are closest to the nucleus and experience a significant amount of shielding from other electrons, which can result in a lower effective nuclear charge for outer subshells. However, when considering only the 1s electrons, they experience the full nuclear charge but are also influenced by electron-electron repulsions, making the effective nuclear charge feel lower for electrons in higher subshells.
