Quiz & Worksheet - The Electron Shell

question 1 of 3

Which of the following statements is true?

The energy of electrons decreases with increasing distance from the nucleus.

Electrons removed from atoms always increase the stability of the atom.

Electrons are considered valence electrons if they are in the outermost electron shell.

Electrons circle the nucleus in predictable orbits like the Earth around the sun.
