Ep5 - Discussing the Energy Levels of Electrons. Location and structure causes Potential energy

#electrons #energylevel #potentialenergy #learningbuildslife

An atom’s electrons vary in the amount of energy they possess. Energy is defined as the capacity to cause change—for instance, by doing work. Potential energy is the energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure. For example, water in a reservoir on a hill has potential energy because of its altitude. When the gates of the reservoir’s dam are opened and the water runs downhill, the energy can be used to do work, such as moving the blades of turbines to generate electricity. Because energy has been expended, the water has less energy at the bottom of the hill than it did in the reservoir. Matter has a natural tendency to move toward the lowest
possible state of potential energy; in our example, the water runs downhill. To restore the potential energy of a reservoir, work must be done to elevate the water against gravity.
