The electron loses energy in order to go from an "excited" shell back to its "original" shell. This releases energy in the form of a photon - an xray.

When do electrons have their greatest energy?

In general, electrons further from the nucleus will have more energy than electrons closer to the nucleus.

Where are innermost electrons located?

Innermost electrons are located closer to the nucleus of an atom, in energy levels closest to the nucleus. These electrons have lower energy and are usually referred to as core electrons.


Which of the following phrases describes core electrons?

Core electrons are the inner electrons of an atom that are tightly held by the nucleus and are not involved in chemical reactions. These electrons are typically found in filled electron shells closer to the nucleus.


Why are electrons in the 1s subshell much closer to the nucleus in Ar than in He?

It is due to the increased in the effective nuclear charge in argon. Helium has 2 protons in its nucleus. On the other hand, argon has 18 protons in its nucleus.Therefore, it has greater attractive power. Due to this, all the electrons are pulled closer to nucleus.


When electrons move closer to the nucleus is energy lost or gained?

The electron decreases energy when it comes nearer to the nucleus.


Electrons farther from the nucleus are said to be of?

Electrons farther from the nucleus are said to be of higher energy levels or higher orbitals. This means they have more energy and are less tightly bound to the nucleus compared to electrons closer to the nucleus.


Is it the closer an electron is to the nucleus the more energy it has?

Yes, when an effective nuclear charge increases it does pull the electrons closer to the nucleus. An electron is a negatively charged part of an atom.


What is closer to nucleus the stronger the attractive force?

When it is close to the nucleus because the postively charged protons attract the negatively charged electrons


Why are valence electrons easier to remove from an atom than core electrons?

Valence electrons are further away from the nucleus and experience less attraction to the positively charged protons in the nucleus compared to core electrons. This makes valence electrons easier to remove from an atom. Core electrons are located closer to the nucleus and are more strongly attracted to the nucleus, requiring more energy to remove them from the atom.
