1. Which has more energy, an electron close to the nucleus of an atom, or an electron farther away from the nucleus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

More energy is required to take out an electron closer to the nucleus than one which is farther away from the nucleus.....

So the electron close to the nucleus has more energy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...
