That's actually not quite how it works, you're probably going by an outdated model of the atom.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 else can I help you with?
Electrons farther from the nucleus are said to be of?
Electrons farther from the nucleus are said to be of higher energy levels or higher orbitals. This means they have more energy and are less tightly bound to the nucleus compared to electrons closer to the nucleus.
When electrons gain additional energy do they move farther away from the nucleus?
In general, electrons farther from the nucleus will have more energy than electrons closer in. These "outer" electrons are said to be in higher Fermi energy levels, and they have more kinetic energy than the electrons in lower orbitals. Consider that electrons give up energy to "fall into" closer orbitals, and they will, in general, have less energy than the outer electrons. A consequence of the idea that there is less energy binding outer electrons to that nucleus is that it takes less energy to remove that outer electron from an atom. These are the so called ionization energies of the atom's electrons. And when the electron is in a higher orbital, it has a lower ionization energy. It can be removed more easily. As we attempt to remove more electrons from that atom, it takes progressively more and more energy as we move inward removing electrons.
How does the energy of core electrons compare with the energy of valence electrons?
The energy of the valence electrons is greater than the energy of the core electrons.
How does the energy of core electrons compare with energy of valence electrons?
Core electrons have lower energy compared to valence electrons. Core electrons are located closer to the nucleus, experience a higher effective nuclear charge, and are more shielded by inner electron shells, leading to lower energy levels. Valence electrons are found in the outermost energy level and have higher energy due to their increased distance from the nucleus and lower shielding effect.
Explain of where electrons might be found in atom?
Electrons are found in regions around the atomic nucleus known as electron shells or energy levels. These shells are organized based on the energy of the electrons they contain, with the innermost shells having lower energy levels and the outermost shells having higher energy levels. Within each shell, electrons move in specific orbitals or pathways.
Electrons farther from the nucleus are said to be of?
Electrons farther from the nucleus are said to be of higher energy levels or higher orbitals. This means they have more energy and are less tightly bound to the nucleus compared to electrons closer to the nucleus.
Is the electrons farther from the nucleus?
Yes, electrons in higher energy levels are farther from the nucleus compared to electrons in lower energy levels. This is due to the increased energy of electrons in higher energy levels.
Which electrons will have the higher energy?
Electrons in higher energy levels, further from the nucleus, will have higher energy compared to electrons in lower energy levels. Electrons that are in orbitals with higher principal quantum numbers (n) will have higher energy.
Electrons farther from the nucleus are said to be of what energy?
higher energy
Electrons with higher energy are located where?
It depends on your definition of high energy. Electrons close to the nucleus have a high positive energy and will require a lot of energy to elevate them to higher orbitals. Electrons far away from the nucleus have the potential to give off a lot of energy falling to inner orbitals.

What is antibonding in chemistry?
Antibonding is a bonding in which the electrons are away from the nucleus and which is higher in energy.
Why do you suppose that an energy level close to the nucleus can hold fewer electrons than one farther away from the nucleus?
Energy levels close to the nucleus have lower energy, which means electrons are more tightly bound and experience stronger electrostatic attraction to the nucleus. This results in a limited capacity for electrons at lower energy levels. As electrons move to higher energy levels, they are farther from the nucleus and experience weaker attraction, allowing for higher electron capacity.
How does the energy of core electrons compare with that of valence electrons?
Core electrons have lower energy levels than valence electrons. Core electrons are closer to the nucleus and are more tightly bound, while valence electrons are in the outermost energy level and have higher energy due to being farther from the nucleus.
How are electrons structured in an atom?
Electrons are structured in specific energy levels or electron shells around the nucleus of an atom. These energy levels can hold a specific number of electrons, with the innermost shell able to hold up to 2 electrons and subsequent shells having higher capacities. Electrons in an atom occupy the lowest possible energy levels before filling higher-energy levels.
