So like if i create an electrum wallet with a bc1 address, will i be able to send bitcoin, from any exchange, to this address?

Most of the major exchanges/wallets won't support this format for now. I recommend you to keep using a standard address or find a way to generate a normal P2SH address while they upgrade their code.
