I've always been under the classical perception that moving an electron to an orbital closer to the nucleus is storing a potential. It cannot release energy until it jumps to the next orbital out, and that is an astronomically "sudden" release of stored energy.
Yes..... and our crack(ed) team of mad scientists here at Ripimoff Industries spent tireless hours trying to get electrons to jump ship from one orbit to another which ultimately blew our lab into the adjacent zip code. This, indeed resulted in a "sudden" release of energy, but will unfortunately delay shipment of all Ripimoff products indefinately. Our apologies.
Besides, Beav, what does all this think-tank stuff have to do with Hooters anyway?
Ron. (off-handedly releasing stored energy).
