...going over ionization energies for elements, they can be thought of in the same way as viewing a plane that is trying to reach orbit. The potential energy that increases with each subshell around the atom is synonymous with the energy that it would take for a plane to reach orbit from differing heights; the plane that tries to take off from the ground will take more energy to reach orbit than a plane that...
