Physically put, the electron has more energy the farther ( higher ) it is from the nucleus. Simple potential energy. PE = mgh

How does the energy of an elelecton relate to its distance from from the nucleus?
Because if the radius is big, then the large distance affects the strenght of the electron with the nucleus. This also increases reactivity in non metals since it will be easier to take away the electron :)
What happened to the energyof an electron as it goes farther from the nucleus?
if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
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.
How many nucleus diameters from the nucleus to the electron?
The nucleus has a width on the order of 10^(-15) meters, while an electron is (on average) a distance of 10^(-10) meters from the nucleus. If you were to magnify the nucleus to the size of a baseball, the electrons would be orbiting at a distance of around 1000 meters. That is, there are about 50,000-100,000 nucleus diameters to the electron's average radius.
As the distance between a nucleus and an orbital electron increases the electrical force of?
Attraction gets smaller.
Why does not the nucleus attract the atoms from top to bottom in a periodic table?
Down a group, the number of shell increases and the electron enters into a different shell. Hence, the distance between the nucleus and valence electron increases and the nuclear attraction decreases

The approximate distance an electron is located from the nucleus is measured by the?
Shell
In an s orbit the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does not depend on?
It would not depend on the direction with respect to the nucleus. The direction of the electron has no effect on the distance of the electron from the nucleus.

What happens to the mass number of a nucleus when it emits an electron?
When a nucleus emits a beta particle (electron) it is a result of neutron decay. This decay will also release an antineutrino and a proton is left which increases the atomic mass by one thereby changing the element.
The atomic radius to the distance from the nucleus of an atom to?
The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.
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.
