Atomic Size is like the Growth Rings of a Tree Atomic Size is like the Spots on a Giraffe's Neck Energy Levels are like Rows in a Parking Lot Energy Levels are like Standing on a Ladder Energy Levels are like a Stick Shift Photoelectric Effect is like Shooting with Different Guns Photons are like Backpacks Wave Mechanical Model is like a Power Boat Wave Particle Duality is like Watching a TV Screen
The ionization energy of an electron in an outside energy level is smaller than for an electron in an inner level. Similarly, a car parked on an outer row of the parking lot can generally get out of the lot easier after the event, than a car located in one of the congested inner rows, closer to the arena (nucleus).

According to the Quantum Theory, an electromagnetic wave guides a flow of energy which is transported along the wave in bundles (photons) of size hf. A simplified view of the situation would be to say that if a wave was represented by a group of people marching in a line, the photons would be analogous to the backpack each person was wearing, and each of which contained a particular amount of material. This analogy could be extended to say that older, more energetic adults would carry a greater load in their backpacks than would children.
