Due to the fact that it's the farthest away, it has the largest (albeit absolutely tiny) distance to fall to the nucleus, making it have the most potential energy. Similar to rolling a ball off a chair or rolling it off a roof. The farther away, the more potential energy.

What is characteristic about the outer electron shells of the halogens?
The outer electron shells of the halogens contain seven electrons, and need one more electron to have eight and become stable.
Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it?
it has one electron in its outer energy level like all alkali metals
What is the electron that are in the highest energy level of an atom and that are involved in chemical reactions?
valence electrons, there can be 1 to 8 of them in the outer s orbital and 3 p orbitals.
The Lewis electron dot system represents electrons in the -?
outer energy level
What has only one electron in their outer energy level and are highly reactive and readily give up this electron?
Alkali metals.
What is characteristic about the outer electron shells of the halogens?
The outer electron shells of the halogens contain seven electrons, and need one more electron to have eight and become stable.
What is the name of the electron located in the outer most energy level?
The Valence electron
Can an electron in the outer energy level be called a valence electron?
Yes, it is correct.
What means outer energy level?
Valence electron
Which orbital electron has the highest energy?
I would think the s orbital, because it is closer to the nucleus, and because the outer energy level holds more energy than the inner ones.
Which element pf the 4th period has highest ionisation energy?
krypton because it is an inert/noble gas, which means it has a complete outer shell and takes a lot of energy to remove an electron.
Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it?
it has one electron in its outer energy level like all alkali metals
What is the electron that are in the highest energy level of an atom and that are involved in chemical reactions?
valence electrons, there can be 1 to 8 of them in the outer s orbital and 3 p orbitals.
What is an electron in an atoms outer most energy level?
The electrons on the outtermost energy level of an atom is called a valence electron.
What element has three or fewer electrons in the outer energy level?
nobel gases has few electron in the outer energy level
What atoms have two outer level electron?
Energy levels
The Lewis electron dot system represents electrons in the -?
outer energy level
