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

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

The electrons in the third shell feel the force 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

Ans: The electrons in the first shell feel the force of Attraction nearby protons attracting them. The electrons in the second shell feel the force of Attraction protons at medium distance attracting them. The electrons in the third shell feel the force of Attraction somewhat distant protons attracting them. Something electrically charged but outside third layer feels either attraction or repulsion depending upon its sign. Something with out electrical charge but outside third layer feels nothing.
