A small discrete unit of energy is called a quantum of energy. The definition of quantum is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation that it represents.

What is a small discrete unit of energy?
a particle!
What is a photon-?
A particle of light. Or, in general, of an electromagnetic wave.
Is the idea whichstates tiny particle do not sbsorb or release energy in a smooth flow?
Quantum theory. A quantum is a discrete amount of something.
How is particle movement related to thermal energy?
when a particle moves it rubs against other particle's causing thermal energy
Discrete packages of light energy are called?
photons

What is a particle of light that acts as a discrete bundle of energy?
photon

Is temperature discrete or continuous?
Temperature is generally considered to be continuous. However, at the particle level of physics ,energy is believed to be made of discrete particles, so in actuality temperature may not be continuous but jumps in quantum amounts when temperature changes.
Do electrons have different amounts of energy?
Yes, electrons can have different amounts of energy. In quantum mechanical systems where any particle (not just electrons) are bound, they can only acquire discrete amounts of energy called energy levels. Adding energy to an electron in an atom might cause it to jump to a higher energy level and is then said to be in an excited state; if it were to fall to a lower level it would give up a discrete amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the two states.
Which phenomenon shows the light interacts with matter as a particle of discrete quantity?
photoelectric effect
How is energy related to particle movement?

Is the energy that comes in discrete packets?
quanta
How is particle movement related to thermal energy?

How atoms and molecules can gain or lose energy in discrete amount?
The enrgy is always lost or gained in only the definite amount that is called as discrete or packet energy.
What is the steam energy particle called?
While some forms of energy can be considered as either particle or wave, steam is not one of those. The energy of steam comes from it expansion. There is no steam energy particle.
