Will electron lattice electron interaction lower the energy of electrons?

latice energy decreases as you move down a group. This is mostly due to the fact that, as you move down a group in the Periodic Table the atomic radius increases. It follows that since the square of the distance is inversely proportional to force of the attraction between charges (Coulomb's Law), latice energy will decrease as atomic radius increases.

If electrons have the most energy in an atom electrons in an electron cloud electrons in the outermost electron shell electrons in the innermost electron shell electrons in the nucleus?
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
What is different between secondary electron image and back scattered electron image?
Secondary electron images show morphology and topographyof a sample. The more the number of electrons reaching the detector, the brighter the image is. Back scattered electron images show difference in composition - or more exactly, difference in atomic number over a sample. The higher the atomic numbers of the atom, the more backscattered electrons are bounced back, making the image brighter for larger atoms.A second difference is back scattered electrons are produced by the elastic interaction of the beam electron with nuclei of atoms in the specimen. No energy is lost as it is elastic interaction. On the other hand secondary electrons are produced by inelastic interaction of beam electrons with electrons in the atom rather than the nucleus. Since it is inelastic interaction, there is energy loss.
An electron in the outermost energy level of an atom is a?
The outermost electrons are called VALENCE electrons.
How does the energy of core electrons compare with energy of valence electrons?
The energy is higher.
How does energy of core electrons compare with the energy of valence electron?
The energy is higher.
Are lattice and cohesive energies same?
Lattice energy is energy required to separate ions to infinite distance with no more interaction. Cohesive energy is energy required to separate atoms to infinite distance with no more interaction.

Are electrons located in energy levels or electron cloud?
Electrons are located in energy levels within the electron cloud.
What is happening with the electrons in ionic bonding?
In ionic bonding the electron rich species donates electron to the electron lacking species.in this process the electron donating species converts into cation by loosing electron and electron accepting species converts into anion by accepting electron.the ions now combine to from a ionic compound by releasing lattice energy
An electron in the outermost energy level of an atom is a?
The outermost electrons are called VALENCE electrons.
What describes the energy possessed by electrons?
The energy of electrons is expressed in eV (electron volts).
How does the energy of core electrons compare with energy of valence electrons?
The energy is higher.
How does lattice energy change the size of the ion?
Lattice energy is directly related to the size of the ions bonded. Smaller ions generally have a more negative value for lattice energy because the nucleus is closer to and thus has more attraction for the valence electrons.
What is the electron configuration for NaCl?
Both atoms have separate electron configurations. The electron configuration for Na is: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1 The electron configuration for Cl is: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5
Which electron jave the most energy in an atom?
Valence electrons are the highest energy electrons in an atom.
Valence electron are found in what energy level?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level.
