The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.

In the electron cloud model if you begin at the electron shell closest to the nucleus of an atom and move out what is the number of electrons that each energy level or electron shell needs to fil?
2, 8, 18, 32 more
What phrases describes how the position of an electron relates to its energy?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
What is the strength of attachment of an electron to the nucleus is called the?
Charge
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
What is the energy required to overcome the attraction of protons in the nucleus and remove an electron from a gaseous atom?
The 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.
What are the energy levels of the electron clouds?
those closest to the nucleus
What is the electron energy level closet to the nucleus of an atom?
The electron energy level closest to the4 nucleus is around 25.4 ev. and the radius is around 7.5 nanometers for an electron around a proton.
Which energy levels in the electron cloud do the electron fill first?
these principle energy levels are satisfied first
The farther an electron is from the nucleus the?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Electrons that are closest to the atom's nucleus are in the blank energy level?
The electron closest to the nucleus has the lowest energy level. Since electrons are attracted to the nucleus, it takes energy to make them orbit at a greater distance (and even more energy to remove them from orbit entirely).
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 the electron cloud model if you begin at the electron shell closest to the nucleus of an atom and move out what is the number of electrons that each energy level or electron shell needs to fil?

What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
What are the number of electron that can be held in the first orbit closest to the nucleus?
8
