Are energy levels in a hydrogen atom further apart near the nucleus?
No, the energy levels in a hydrogen atom are closer together near the nucleus and become more widely spaced as you move further away. The energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is determined by its distance from the nucleus, with lower energy levels closer to the nucleus and higher energy levels further away.
Will the electrons in the higher energy level comes near the nucleus while they are revolving in their own orbit?
No, electrons in higher energy levels do not come closer to the nucleus while orbiting. In Bohr's model, each energy level corresponds to a specific orbit or distance from the nucleus, and the electrons remain in those orbits without spiraling inward. Energy levels represent the average distance of the electron from the nucleus rather than a physical path.
What is the relationship between an energy level and an electron cloud?
The energy increase near the nucleus.
Describe where the electrons are in an atom where they have the lowest energy and where they have the highest energy.?
electrons are outside the nucleus of an atom they have the highest energy very near to the nucleus and as they are getting far the energy is decreasing
What electrons in an atom have the most energy and which ones have the least?
electrons are outside the nucleus of an atom they have the highest energy very near to the nucleus and as they are getting far the energy is decreasing
Which electrons have the most energy in the atom?
The electrons placed near the nucleus.
Why electrons near the nucleus having less energy as that of higher shells?
That's actually not quite how it works, you're probably going by an outdated model of the atom. It is true that the probability of finding the electron at a larger distance from the nucleus tends to be larger for electrons with higher energy... the reason why should be fairly obvious: they have more energy to overcome the electromagnetic attraction between the (negative) electron and the (positive) nucleus.
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 is an electron's most likely location in the electron cloud?
The Valence electrons, i.e. those in the outer shell of a compound are most likely to be involved in bonding. This is because they are further away from the nucleus of their atom, so experience less attractive force towards it. They are also shielded from this attraction by any electrons between them and the nucleus. Therefore, they require less energy to remove.
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.
What is the energy called that attracts the electrons to the nucleus of an atom?
The energy that attracts electrons to the nucleus of an atom is called the electromagnetic force. This force arises due to the interaction between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. It is responsible for holding the electrons in orbit around the nucleus.
Where is the shell that has the lowest energy level?
This electron shell is near the atomic nucleus.
