4/11/2016. There's no way I would ever rate a box store 5 stars, but I do like our Home Depot. The service isn't always the greatest, but it's usually pretty decent. The have a wide selection and the prices are generally the best in town.
Electrons with the highest energy levels exist in the outermost shell of an atom and are relatively loosely bound to the atom. This outermost shell is known as the valance shell and electrons in this shell are called valance electrons. A completed outermost shell has valance of zero.
The orbit around the nucleus within which the electron rotate is called shells or Energy levels. Each discrete distance orbit from the nucleus corresponds to a certain energy level. The electron which rotates in the lowest orbit has lowest energy level and in the outermost orbit, electrons have higher energy levels. Hence energy levels increase as the distance from the nucleus increases.
