Strong & weak nuclear force.
Nuclear energy is the type of energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. This energy can be released through processes such as nuclear fission and fusion, which convert small amounts of mass into large amounts of energy.
The energy in the nucleus of an atom is primarily nuclear potential energy, which is the energy associated with the strong nuclear force that holds protons and neutrons together. This energy is released through nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion.
Nuclear energy is a type of potential energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom. When the nucleus of an atom undergoes a process called nuclear fission or fusion, this potential energy is released in the form of heat and kinetic energy, which can then be converted into electricity.
Potential energy. Fluids above their base level have gravitational potential energy due to their position relative to the base level.
When an atom is bombarded with photons of light, the atom may absorb the photons and its electrons may jump to higher energy levels. This can lead to the atom becoming excited or ionized. The specific outcome depends on factors like the energy of the photons and the type of atom involved.
This type of energy is referred to as quantum energy. It exists at the atomic and subatomic level and is responsible for interactions within atoms, such as electronic transitions and binding energies.

Electrons orbit around the nucleus in an atom at different levels. The space between each level is referred to as an orbital.
One type of energy level would be in the Bohr model of the atom, suggesting that electrons are held in discrete energy levels around the nucleus. Any of these electrons may be excited to a higher energy level if sufficient energy is applied to the atom. In some materials, the excited electrons spontaneously return to their original energy level by releasing the extra energy as light photons. This is how fluorescent lights work.
The 4s orbital is a type of atomic orbital that is part of the fourth energy level in an atom. It has a spherical shape and can hold up to 2 electrons. The 4s orbital is lower in energy than the 3d orbital in the periodic table.
This is called the ionization energy and an is different for each electron in the atom. Electrons in the outer shell (furthest from the nucleus) have the lowest ionization energy, electrons in the innermost shell (closest to the nucleus) have the highest ionization energy.

The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
