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.

Why are the electron located in a different part of the atom than the proton?
In our Universe, in which the rules of quantum mechanics rule for sub-atomic particles, the probability of an electron being inside a nucleus is vanishingly small. Its most likely position is on the order of one angstrom away from the nucleus. Summing up, an electron is away from the proton because the laws that govern our Universe won't allow it to be close.
Why an excited atom is electrically neutral?
Even an electron excited to a higher than normal energy level remains sufficiently close to the nucleus of its atom that the atom as a whole remains neutral.
Is an atom with an atomic number of 1 stable?
The atom with an atomic number of 1 is Hydrogen. Hydrogen only has one electron and is very unstable because it is very close to the nucleus and has an incomplete valence shell holla back
What is the element with the increases the highest electronegativity value?
The element with the highest electronegativity is fluorine (F, #9). This is due to fluorine's high number of valence electrons (7) which are relatively close to the nucleus (energy level 2), so the attraction between nucleus and electrons is about as strong as it can be.
Why is Li a poor conductor of electricity?
This is because its valence electron (2s1) is strongly attracted and hardly free moving from the one very small Li+ orbital to the neighboring other Li+ orbital. It is too close to the ion nucleus (3+ charge)
By atom is an electron that is close to the nucleus is on the highest energy level?
that is false
What is the negatively charged particle found surrounding the nucleus?
A negatively charged particle that circles the nucleus is called an electron. The nucleus is made up of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons.
Will an electron feel a greater force when it is close to the nucleus or when it is further away?
further away :)
Which orbital gives an electron the greatest probability of being found close to nucleus?
The 1s orbital.
Is the valence electron farthest or closest to the nucleus?
No. By definition, valence electrons are the furthest electrons from the nucleus in the atom. They are the electrons most easily removed from (or added to) the atom to create ions. A loophole to this answer might be to say that hydrogen and helium only have 1 and 2 electrons respectively so their valence electrons are close. That's a matter of perspective, as no electrons are really "close" to the nucleus to begin with. A typical comparison is to imagine a grape seed in the middle of a football stadium. The grape seed represents the nucleus, and an electron would be a speck of dust on the outside of the stadium.

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.

Why do electrons orbit far away from atomic nuclei?
Because of the electromagnetic force. It requires more energy to pull a negatively charged electron further away from the positively charged nucleus.
Why an excited atom is electrically neutral?
Even an electron excited to a higher than normal energy level remains sufficiently close to the nucleus of its atom that the atom as a whole remains neutral.
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.
