Firstly, this isn't really an entertainment or arts question. Secondly, the electrons don't contain nuclear energy, no. Nuclear energy is found within the bonds of an atom.

What is the term for splitting a atom?
When you split an atom, you create a nuclear fission. The energy from splitting that atom is converted to electricity. To split an atom means to literally "break it in half." An atom has a nucleus with negatively charged electrons around it. The reaction of the atom splitting is so large that a small amount can convert into numerous amounts of energy.
How is electrical and nuclear energy related?
Electrical energy is the energy generally stored in electrons and their movement. Nuclear energy is the energy stored with an atom. Electrons are a fundamental part of most atoms, thus nuclear energy also contains direct electrical energy.
What is the energy stored in the center of an atom?
nuclear energy
Which part of atom take part in nuclear reaction?
A nuclear reaction involves changes in the nucleus of an atom, and it is from the atomic nucleus that energy is released in a nuclear reaction.
Which is the cause of the sun energy?
Nuclear fission is the source of the sun's energy. It is a process in which an atom of hydrogen fuses with another atom of hydrogen, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. It is quite the opposite of nuclear fission, which is the source of atomic energy.
Do the electrons of an atom have huge amounts of nuclear energy?
No, the electrons do not have nuclear energy, they are not part of the nucleus. They have binding energy which keeps them attached to the nucleus as part of the atom. When an electron is bound to an atom, it has a potential energy that is inversely proportional to its distance from the nucleus. This is measured by the amount of energy needed to unbind the electron from the atom, and is usually given in units of electronvolts (eV). In the quantum mechanical model, a bound electron can only occupy a set of states centered on the nucleus, and each state corresponds to a specific energy level. The lowest energy state of a bound electron is called the ground state, while an electron at a higher energy level is in an excited state. The binding energy of electrons is many orders of magnitude less than the binding energies in the nucleus, and atoms are easily ionised by stripping off electrons.
Which electron jave the most energy in an atom?
Valence electrons are the highest energy electrons in an atom.
What are electrons in the outermost energy shellcof an atom called?
Electrons in the outermost energy shell of an atom are called valence electrons.
What outermost electrons in an atom with the inner electrons of an atom in terms of energy.?
valence electrons
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?
Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is called Atomic Energy or nuclear energy.
What process splits an atom's nucleus to produce normous amounts of heat energy and gamma rays?
This process is called nuclear fission.
If an atom has 7 electrons how many electrons are located in the second energy level?
An atom with seven electrons will have five electrons in the second energy level.
