What causes the electron to stay in the atom in
the first place?
Coulomb’s Law
• Coulomb's inverse-square law, is a law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles.

The electrostatic force holding the electrons to the nucleus is stronger for the second electron because it is closer to the nucleus.
There is less electron shielding so those electrons in the second energy level feel more pull from the nucleus and are held tighter.
