Stairs is a good example (u cant stand halfway between a stair, therefore a quantized or fixed amount of energy is used on each step)
this one is not one i recognize but u might want to google it........
They have fixed energy values.
Electrical charge is quantized. (negative in an electron, as an electron has exactly -1 fundamental unit of charge) The other two would be the energy levels in the atoms and the emitted energy.
No. A quantized orbit means the energy is locked in as a constant. It would have to switch to a different orbit to emit energy.
The transition of an electron between energy levels in an atom shows that the position of the electron is quantized because only specific energy levels are allowed for the electron to occupy. This means that the electron can only exist at certain distances from the nucleus, corresponding to discrete energy levels, and cannot be found in between these levels.
The transition of an electron between discrete energy levels in an atom illustrates that its position is quantized because the electron can only exist in specific energy states rather than a continuous range of values. When an electron absorbs or emits energy, it jumps between these defined levels, corresponding to specific wavelengths of light. This quantization reflects the underlying structure of the atom and the rules of quantum mechanics, which dictate that only certain energy levels are permissible. As a result, the electron's position and energy are intrinsically linked to these quantized states.
Quantized energy states refer to specific discrete levels of energy that an atom, molecule, or other system can have. These levels are separated by specific energy gaps, and only certain values of energy are allowed within these quantized levels. This concept is a key aspect of quantum mechanics and explains phenomena like atomic spectra and electron energy levels.
The charge of an electron is always −1.602176487(40)×10−19 Coulomb. If an electron is ejected from it's orbital the energy it absorbs is in the form of kinetic energy i.e. how fast it moves. If the electron goes back into an orbital it will only be allowed in an orbital that allows for it's energy. If an atom has an electron and that electron absorbs the energy from an incoming photon it may jump up to a higher orbital or it may be ejected. The ejected electron is the principle of the photo-electric effect.
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific orbitals, a specific distance from the nucleus of the atom. A specific quanta of energy will knock the electron into a higher orbital. When the electron falls back into the lower orbital, it will give off that same specific quanta of energy. That is why lasers work.
Each electron has its own "address."

Yes, the energy of an electron does vary depending on which energy level it occupies. Electrons in higher energy levels have more energy than those in lower energy levels. The energy of an electron is quantized and can only take on specific values corresponding to the energy levels of the atom.
