Usually, highly electro positive atoms donate (release) electrons to convert into cations. Metals are good electron donors and a few exceptional non-metals with high negative ionization enthalpies, release electrons to gain stability and achieve nearest noble-gas configuration.

Which electrons have the most energy in a atom?
Potential energy. Potential energy = mass * gravitational constant * height As you see, the further the electron is from the nucleus ( how " high " it is ) the more energy it contains. So, that would be the outer valance electron(s).
What is a beta partical?
A Beta Particle is a high energy electron that comes from the nucleus, not from the electron cloud. However, the nucleus contains only protons and neutrons. During this kind of transmutation, a neutron becomes unstable and splits into an electron and a proton. The electron, or beta particle, is released with a large amount of energy. The proton however, remains in the nucleus.P.S. I got this information out of my Science text book. (:
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That's actually not quite how it works, you're probably going by an outdated model of the atom.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.
What happens when an electron moves from a low energy state to a high energy state?
when an electron moves from low energy state to high energy state , it gains energy.
Does chlorine have a high electron affinity or a low ionization energy?
It has High electron affinity.
A high-energy electron from the nucleus?

What is a high energy electron from the nucleus?
Beta Particles
A high energy electron that comes from the nucleus not from the electron cloud?
beta particle
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
Is a beta particle a helium nucleus or an electron?
A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.

Area outside of a nucleus where electron numbers are high?
electron cloud
