• Resumen

  • Many years ago when I was in high school, I asked my AP® Chemistry teacher, �Why is there a negative sign in front of the 13.6 eV in the table of electron energies? What does it mean to have negative energy?� She told me it had something to do with potential energy and not to worry about it. Well, I am still worrying about it.
