yes, if by larger you mean size/volume.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
The first ionization energy decreases because the outermost electron is farther from the nucleus. Apex
No. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
The force between the nucleus and the outermost electron in a large atom is primarily governed by the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electron. This force is known as the electrostatic force of attraction and is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the nucleus and the electron.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
As the orbit of the electron increases, the electron's energy also increases. Electrons in higher energy orbits are farther from the nucleus and have more potential energy. Conversely, electrons in lower energy orbits are closer to the nucleus and have less energy.
Electrons farthest from nucleus are valence electrons. They are present in outermost orbit.
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
Electrons in the outermost electron shell have the most energy in an atom. The energy of an electron increases as it moves further away from the nucleus. Electrons in the innermost shell have the least energy, while electrons in the nucleus have the highest energy due to their proximity to the protons.
The size of an atom is typically represented by its atomic radius, which is the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron orbit. This distance is often measured in picometers (pm).
The likelihood of locating an electron at the nucleus is very low, as the electron probability distribution in an atom shows that the electron is most likely to be found in regions farther away from the nucleus.
"Electron cloud" is the name given to the electrons which surrounds the atomic nucleus.
