Question

Electrons in which energy level have the MOST potential energy?

Answer 1

Answer: outer most shell

Step-by-step explanation:

the outer most shell because it is the farthest away from the center

Answer 2

So a large amount of energy is required to liberate an electron from an inner most shell rather than an electron from the outermost shell. This is why we say that the electron in the outermost shell has a higher (potential) energy than the inner most shells
