An electromagnetic force attraction between opposite charges pulls atoms together, either between electrons and nuclei, or as the result of a dipole attraction.
well The electrons on that shell have nowhere to go so they jump off and become ionised
No, electrons cannot jump from the sixth shell to the second shell in an atom. Electrons fill shells in a specific order based on their energy levels, and they follow certain rules and restrictions regarding their movements within an atom. Jumping from the sixth shell to the second shell would violate these principles.
when something is in the ground^No. That is totally incorrect.Basically, a ground state electron is when the atom/element is not being surged through with heat or electricity. Basically, it's the atom's normal electron configuration. So NA [Sodium]'s ground state would be shown as : 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.The opposite is when it's in it's excited state. You can remember tell when an atom is in it's excited state when in the electron configuration, there is a huge jump, like 1s2,2s2,2p5, 3s2. This might have happened due to being exposed to heat and or electricity.In other words, ground state=normal, excited is, well, excited. XD
Yes, electrons can jump to higher energy levels in an atom when it absorbs specific colors of light emitted by a hot, thin gas. This process is known as absorption and the absorbed energy can excite the electrons to higher energy levels.
The charge of an electron is always −1.602176487(40)×10−19 Coulomb. If an electron is ejected from it's orbital the energy it absorbs is in the form of kinetic energy i.e. how fast it moves. If the electron goes back into an orbital it will only be allowed in an orbital that allows for it's energy. If an atom has an electron and that electron absorbs the energy from an incoming photon it may jump up to a higher orbital or it may be ejected. The ejected electron is the principle of the photo-electric effect.
An electron can jump from atom to atom.
Adding an electron to an atom can result in one of three things. It will depend on what condition the atom starts in. For an atom that has less electrons than protons (a positive ion), it will make that atom less positive. If the atom has just one less electron than the number of protons, the additional electron will neutralize that atom. In a neutral atom, the extra electron will make that atom a negative ion. In an atom with one or more electrons than protons, that atom will be a negative ion, and the additional electron will simply make it more negative. Also, when an electron is added to a neutral atom, energy is released
When an electron jumps from one atom to another, it creates an electrical current. This movement of electrons is what we commonly refer to as electricity. The direction of the movement of these electrons determines the flow of the current.

When an electron in an atom absorbs a specific "Quantum" of energy, it will jump to the next specific energy level in the atom. It'll then jump back down, and in so doing releasing light and giving off a signature light spectrum for an element.
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.
When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.
