The energy level shell farthest from the nucleus would have the greatest potential energy. As electrons move farther from the nucleus, their potential energy increases due to the increasing distance from the positive charge of the nucleus. This is in line with the understanding that potential energy decreases as an object gets closer to a source of attraction.

What is the energy level within a shell?
The energy level within a shell corresponds to the main energy level of an electron in an atom. Electrons in the same shell have similar energy levels, which increase with distance from the nucleus. Each shell can hold a specific number of electrons based on its energy level.
What is an alternative name for energy level?
An alternative name for energy level is electron shell or electron orbital.
Electrons exist only at fixed levels of potential energy However if an atom absorbs sufficient energy a possible result is that?
An electron may move to an electron shell farther out from the nucleus.
Define energy level shell?
Energy level shell is a region around an atom's nucleus where electrons are likely to be found. Electrons in an atom occupy these shells, each with a specific energy level. The shells are designated by numbers (n=1, 2, 3, etc.) and can hold a certain maximum number of electrons based on their energy level.
What is the lowest numbered energy level where a d sublevel is found?
The lowest numbered energy level where a d sublevel is found is the third energy level. Energy levels are represented by numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) and each level can contain sublevels corresponding to different types of orbitals (s, p, d, f).
Where is the shell that has the lowest energy level?
This electron shell is near the atomic nucleus.
What sub level s of energy make the o shell?
The sub-level s of energy that make the o shell is the K-shell.
What is the energy level within a shell?
The energy level within a shell corresponds to the main energy level of an electron in an atom. Electrons in the same shell have similar energy levels, which increase with distance from the nucleus. Each shell can hold a specific number of electrons based on its energy level.
Does an electron in the first energy shell have greater potential energy than an electron in the third energy shell?
electrons in the first electron shell have the lowest possible potential energy because YOUR MOM DROPPED U ON YOUR HEAD WHEN U WERE A BABY
Is the number of electrons in each energy level considered a shell?
Actually each energy level is considered to be a shell and the electrons are moving in the shell (in fixed paths).
How many electrons in the outer energy level of phosphorus?
the energy levels are as follows: first shell 2 second shell 8 third shell 5
What is a valence or shell?
The outermost energy level of an atom is referred to as the valence shell.
How many energy levels are there in boron?
There are two energy levles in a Boron! :) Happy to help!
Each electron shell correspond to a different?
Each electron shell corresponds to a different principle energy level. Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons.
Which statement describes the relative energy of electrons in the shells of a calcium atom?
Electrons in higher energy shells of a calcium atom are farther from the nucleus and have more energy than electrons in lower energy shells. This is because as the energy level of a shell increases, the distance from the nucleus also increases, resulting in higher potential energy for the electrons.
How many electrons does carbon have in the outer energy level or shell?
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.
What is an alternative name for energy level?
An alternative name for energy level is electron shell or electron orbital.
