  "term": "Electron energy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The energy possessed by an electron, which can be kinetic, potential, or a combination of both. In atomic and molecular systems, electron energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only occupy discrete energy states. This energy is a fundamental property determining an electron's behavior in chemical bonds and reactions.",
