What else can I help you with?
In an atom an electron that is close to the nucleus is on the highest enegry level?
No. The greater distance from the nucleus the more energy an electron has.
Electrons that are closest to the atom's nucleus are in the blank energy level?
The electron closest to the nucleus has the lowest energy level. Since electrons are attracted to the nucleus, it takes energy to make them orbit at a greater distance (and even more energy to remove them from orbit entirely).
An electrons path around the nucleus defines its?
An electron's path around the nucleus defines its energy level. The energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only exist at specific distances from the nucleus.
What happens to the energy that an electron has as its distance from the nucleus of the atom increases?
As an electron moves farther from the nucleus, its energy increases. This increase in energy results in the electron being in a higher energy level or orbital. The electron's increasing distance from the nucleus leads to decreased attraction, causing it to have more potential energy.
What is a energy level?
The energy possessed by an electron at a set of distance from the nucleus.
What is the electron energy level closet to the nucleus of an atom?
The electron energy level closest to the4 nucleus is around 25.4 ev. and the radius is around 7.5 nanometers for an electron around a proton.
In an atom an electron that is close to the nucleus is on the highest enegry level?
No. The greater distance from the nucleus the more energy an electron has.
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
Principal energy level 1 of an atom contains an electron with the lowest energy why?
The principal energy level 1 is the closest energy level to the nucleus, resulting in the electron being held most tightly by the nucleus, thus having the lowest energy. This electron is in the lowest energy state possible due to the electrostatic attraction between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus.
What is the smallest and least energetic path of the electron around a nucleus?
The smallest and least energetic path of an electron around a nucleus is the ground state, or lowest energy level. In this state, the electron occupies its lowest energy orbital closest to the nucleus.
Electrons that are closest to the atom's nucleus are in the blank energy level?
The electron closest to the nucleus has the lowest energy level. Since electrons are attracted to the nucleus, it takes energy to make them orbit at a greater distance (and even more energy to remove them from orbit entirely).
Where does the electron in a hydrogen atom has the least energy?
I am pretty sure it's one because the highest is 7 and the farther away you are the lower the energy level!
An electrons path around the nucleus defines its?
An electron's path around the nucleus defines its energy level. The energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only exist at specific distances from the nucleus.
Why is the lowest energy level of an atomic orbital the one farthest from the nucleus?
The lowest energy level is NOT farthest from the nucleus. It is closest to the nucleus. The energy levels of an atom are expressed as negative numbers. In an energy level diagram the level nearest the nucleus will be the largest negative number. But again this means it is the lowest energy. For example, -8 is larger then -13.
Is an electron found in the nucleus?
No, it is never to be found in the nucleus, it is in electron orbits or 'shells', each with its own the energy level.
What is the Principal Energy Level?
The principal energy level is the main energy level of an electron in an atom, designated by the quantum number "n." It indicates the approximate energy and distance of an electron from the nucleus. The higher the principal energy level, the higher the energy and distance of the electron from the nucleus.
Which quantum number represents the main energy level of an electron?
The principal quantum number (n) represents the main energy level of an electron in an atom. It determines the energy level and distance of the electron from the nucleus.
