Is it the closer an electron is to the nucleus the more energy it has?

Yes, when an effective nuclear charge increases it does pull the electrons closer to the nucleus. An electron is a negatively charged part of an atom.

How does the electron's energy change as the orbit of the electron increases?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.
In an atom an electron that is close to the nucleus is on the highest enegry level?
No. The greater distance from the nucleus the more energy an electron has.
When do electrons have their greatest energy?
In general, electrons further from the nucleus will have more energy than electrons closer to the nucleus.
What happens to the energy that an electron has as its distance from the nucleus of the atom increases?
Physically put, the electron has more energy the farther ( higher ) it is from the nucleus. Simple potential energy. PE = mgh
What phrase describes the position of an electron relates to its energy?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Why does it take more energy to remove electrons closer to the nucleus?
the nucleous is positively charged , the electron is negatively charged..the closer to the nucleous an electron is the strongest is the force that attracts it (the force of the nucleous) so more energy is needed to remove it
What is associated with more energy a 2s or a 3s orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
Which has more potential energy an electron close to an atomic nucleus or one far from an atomic nucleus?
In general, electrons farther from the nucleus will have more energy than electrons closer in.
How does the energy of an electron change when the elctron moves closer to the nucleus?
the electrons moving closer to the nucleus have lower energy level.why?AnswerWhen atoms absorb energy, electrons move into higher energy levels, and these electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.It's like a sea saw, you go up, you get energy, go back down, lose it.please recommend me :D

No. The greater distance from the nucleus the more energy an electron has.
Why electrons near the nucleus having less energy as that of higher shells?
That's actually not quite how it works, you're probably going by an outdated model of the atom. It is true that the probability of finding the electron at a larger distance from the nucleus tends to be larger for electrons with higher energy... the reason why should be fairly obvious: they have more energy to overcome the electromagnetic attraction between the (negative) electron and the (positive) nucleus.
Does an electron in the third shell has more energy than in the first shell?
when electons are more closer to nucelus it has less energy. when they are away from nucleus they are more energetic. how far electons will be away from nucleus, more they can influence other atoms
Which orbital electron has the highest energy?
I would think the s orbital, because it is closer to the nucleus, and because the outer energy level holds more energy than the inner ones.
What happens to the electron as it moves closer to the nucleus?
An electron moving towards the nucleus slows down and any energy it contains from a higher shelf is released.
When do electrons have their greatest energy?
In general, electrons further from the nucleus will have more energy than electrons closer to the nucleus.
