How are electrons arranged in the atom?

Electrons are arranged around the atomic nucleus forming the electron clouds.


Is the outermost electron shell the highest or the lowest energy level shell?

No, the farthest electrons are at the highest energy level.No, the farthest electrons are at the highest energy level.No, the farthest electrons are at the highest energy level.No, the farthest electrons are at the highest energy level.


What is the energy called that attracts the electrons to the nucleus of an atom?

binding energy The attraction force of the positively charged protons in the nucleus binds (holds secure) the negatively charged electrons near the nucleus.


When electrons gain additional energy do they move farther away from the nucleus?

In general, electrons farther from the nucleus will have more energy than electrons closer in. These "outer" electrons are said to be in higher Fermi energy levels, and they have more kinetic energy than the electrons in lower orbitals. Consider that electrons give up energy to "fall into" closer orbitals, and they will, in general, have less energy than the outer electrons. A consequence of the idea that there is less energy binding outer electrons to that nucleus is that it takes less energy to remove that outer electron from an atom. These are the so called ionization energies of the atom's electrons. And when the electron is in a higher orbital, it has a lower ionization energy. It can be removed more easily. As we attempt to remove more electrons from that atom, it takes progressively more and more energy as we move inward removing electrons.


If electrons have the most energy in an atom electrons in an electron cloud electrons in the outermost electron shell electrons in the innermost electron shell electrons in the nucleus?

Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.

When did Niels Bohr made a model of the atom?

Neil's Bohr developed his model of the atom in 1931 as a student of Rutherford. This model suggested that electrons orbited in concentric circles around the nucleus at discrete energy levels.
