These are the electrons that are not the valence electrons and are also known as core electrons.

Inner core electrons are electrons that shield attraction between protons and valence electrons.

speed of electrons varies from shell to shell . it increases from inner orbit to outer orbit


What is different between free electron and inner shell electron?

A free electron is able to move as it is in the outer shell of the atom. So free electrons can carry a charge. If an atom has free electrons it is able to conduct electricity. Inner shell electrons cannot carry a charge as they are closer to the nucleus.


An electron in an atom's outer shell is shielded from the nucleus by what?

No, on the most inner shell, only 2 electrons can be held, but then on every other shell it is usally 8


Are electron shells and electron dots the same thing?

no. electron shells are just what contain the electrons. the inner most shell contains 2, then 8 and so on.

What happens if the outermost electron shell is empty?

the shell would never be empty, there would be another shell under it and it would have all of its valence electrons


How is it possible that the outer electron of a transition element go to the inner shell?

Under normal conditions, all of the inner shells are already full to their maximum occupancy, and so no additional electrons can go into the inner shell. Only with excitation with light can you create a vacancy in the inner shell such that outer shell electrons can fill that vacancy. This requires excitation with either ultraviolet light or x-rays.
