You can see that the lowest energy level has the electron at -13.6 eV, where eV is a unit of energy called the electronvolt.
2
Recall that nearly every chemical reaction involves energy transfers on the order of an electronVolt.
3
The alphas come out with a considerable amount of kinetic energy (several million electronVolts, typically).
4
But two hundred million electronVolts, from a single uranium atom, would be less noticeable than a mosquito bite.
5
In a semiconductor, the energy gap between the orchestra and the balcony is much smaller, usually one to three electronVolts.
6
A gallon of fuel contains nearly four thousand cubic centimeters, capable of producing over a hundred trillion trillion electronVolts of energy.
7
In contrast, a single uranium nucleus undergoing fission and splitting into two smaller nuclei releases about two hundred million electronVolts of energy.
8
But this costs me a few electronVolts of energy, and this can be considered the binding energy holding the atoms together in the metal.
9
It is colliding protons together head-on, at the record high energy (13 Tera ElectronVolts) that it reached in 2015.
10
Visible light photons, of energy between 1.9 and 3.0 electronVolts, have sufficient energy to excite electrons up to the conducting balcony.
