Question

A Chlorine atom has 17 protons in its nucleus, 2 electrons in its first shell, 8 electrons in its second shell, and 7 electrons in its third shell.

The electrons in the first shell feel the ______ force
 nearby protons attracting them.

The electrons in the second shell feel the _____ force
 protons at medium distance attracting them.

The electrons in the third shell feel the strength of _______
 somewhat distant protons attracting them.

Something electrically charged but outside the third layer feels 
a. attraction 
b. repulsion 
c. nothing

Something without electrical charge but outside the third layer feels 
a. attraction 
b. repulsion 
c. nothing

Answer 1

1 First dash ( First shell) attractive force ( since they are opposite charge)

2. Seccond dash ( seccond shell) attractive force ( opposite charge) but force of attraction less than first shell as distance increases.

3. Third dash ( third shell) attractive force ( but less than seccond as distance increases.

If a electrically charged particle present it will attract it ( option a)

a) if negative charge, it will try to pull the electron and completes octate

b) if positive it will be attracted because of opposite charge.

If nothing is present outside nothing will happen (c)
