Energy level
BUTTSEX
No. The greater distance from the nucleus the more energy an electron has.
The nucleus has a width on the order of 10^(-15) meters, while an electron is (on average) a distance of 10^(-10) meters from the nucleus. If you were to magnify the nucleus to the size of a baseball, the electrons would be orbiting at a distance of around 1000 meters. That is, there are about 50,000-100,000 nucleus diameters to the electron's average radius.
shell
Nucleus exerts a force on every electron revolving around it. This force is inversely proportional to the distance between the nucleus and the electron. Therefore the electrons in outermost orbit (or shell) have the least nucleic forceacting upon them in comparison to the inner electrons. Therefore they are the most easily removable electrons.They are called valence electrons.
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 :)
The concept of quantized energy levels, first proposed by Neils Bohr, states that electrons can only exist in certain possible energy levels, which he pictured as orbits around a nucleus since the energy of an electron is proportional to its distance from the nucleus.
Shell
It would not depend on the direction with respect to the nucleus. The direction of the electron has no effect on the distance of the electron from the nucleus.
The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.
No. The greater distance from the nucleus the more energy an electron has.
The nucleus has a width on the order of 10^(-15) meters, while an electron is (on average) a distance of 10^(-10) meters from the nucleus.

The path of a given electron's orbit around a nucleus, marked by a constant distance from the nucleus.
The electron shell is an energy level represented as the distance of an electron from the nucleus of the atom
