    Not sure what you are asking. I have two possible answers though ...

    It could either be more negatively charged, or valence electrons.

    The more away from the nucleus a electron is, the more negatively charged it is.

    The electrons on the outermost electron shell is valence electrons.

    Again, I don't know what you were asking, but one of these answers may be correct.

    The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

    One way in which elements differ from each other is the structure of the electron cloud in each element's atoms. In an electron cloud, an electron that is farther away from the nucleus has

    a greater charge than an electron near the nucleus.

    a smaller charge than an electron near the nucleus

    a higher energy than an electron near the nucleus.

    a lower energy than an electron near the nucleus.

    Answer:

    a higher energy than an electron near the nucleus.

    Explanation:

    Energy levels increase outwards from the nucleus. An electron that is nearest to the nucleus is said to be in its ground state, this is the lowest energy state of that electron. As we move outwards from the nucleus, the energy levels increase progressively. Hence, the farther electrons are from the nucleus, the greater their energy level and the greater the energy of the individual electrons.
