E=h^2 k^2 / 2 m
E- energy of an electron
h - Planks const
k - wave number (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_vector)
m - mass of the electron

The energy level of an electron is determined by it''s circular position in the atom.The further away from the center of the atom the greater the energy level.

The electron-Volt (eV) is the amount of energy that an electron would require when dropping through a potential of 1 volt. 1eV = 1.6 e-19 Joule.
