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.
What is the chemical behavior of different elements and what is it determined by?
The chemical behavior of different elements is determined by valence electrons.
Why does carbon only have four valence electrons?
It means that there are 4 electrons on its outer most ring, but only neutral atoms have valence electrons. Since carbon has 4 valence electrons it either needs to lose 4 electrons or gain 4 electrons to form an octet which makes it stable.
How does the size of an atom compare to the size of the nucleus?
You are probably familiar with the textbook diagram of an atom that fits neatly on the page. However, the reality will get you thinking how really empty space is: If a proton were the size of a marble an electron would be about the width of a human hair. With that scale the electron's orbit would be about 2 1/2 miles away from the proton.
What are the elements that have 3 or fewer valence electrons called?
All the elements in the first column of the periodic table (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium) have one valence electron. I also believe Helium has one valence electron.
When sunlight excited electrons in chlorophyll how do the electrons change?

What is a huge space cloud called?
It is known by several terms: Cumulonimbus, Thunderhead, Anvil cloud.
Is a twizzler a large or small mass?
It depends on the context. Compared to an atom it is huge, compared to the sun it is tiny.
How can you rewrite this sentence The space shuttle was both a marvel and huge?
