The coulomb force is the dominant force between the electrons of an atom and the nucleus. It is the standard force of attraction between positive and negative charges.
(Of course, the electrons also interact with each other also through the repulsive coulomb force expected of like charges.)
The forces between the nucleus and the electrons is the same basic coulomb force fo all electrons, inner electrons or outer electrons or any electrons. (Of course, the type of force is the same but the strength of the force varies with distance being weaker for more distant electrons.)
Essentially all of chemistry is determined by this simple inverse square force of attraction and repulsion. Other forces such as the force of gravity or the more exotic nuclear forces and electroweak interactions are so small as to be irrelevant except in special circumstances.)
"Electron cloud" is the name given to the electrons which surrounds the atomic nucleus.
Electrons that are further away from the nucleus have a greater attraction because the positive and negative charges are stronger than innermost electrons
As alkali metals increase in size, the distance of the outermost electrons from the nucleus increases. The attraction between the electrons and the nucleus is electrostatic, and it is a fundamental property of electrostatic attractions that the attraction decreases with increasing distance between the attracting charges. Another way of describing this is that the attractive force is partially "screened" by the inner electrons between the outermost electrons and the nucleus.
Nucleus exerts a force on every electron revolving around it. This force is inversely proportional to the distance between the nucleus and the electron. Therefore the electrons in outermost orbit (or shell) have the least nucleic forceacting upon them in comparison to the inner electrons. Therefore they are the most easily removable electrons.They are called valence electrons.
More the number of shells in an atom, more away will be the electrons from the nucleus. Hence, weaker will be the attraction between nucleus and outermost electrons. So atom with more shells will let go their electrons easier than atoms with fewer shells.
No. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
Electrons farthest from nucleus are valence electrons. They are present in outermost orbit.

The force of attraction between the atom's nucleus and its valence electrons are the least. Hence valence electrons are lost easily.
Electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons.
Valence electrons are present in outermost shell. They are at far distance from nucleus.
attractive and weaker
Electrons that are further away from the nucleus have a greater attraction because the positive and negative charges are stronger than innermost electrons
a) Valence electrons means the electrons present in the outermost orbit of an atom. b) Valence electrons means the outer shellof an atom, which determine its power to combine with other elements.
