Nuclear Energy
The energy released when the nuclei of atoms are split or combined
Real World Example
Imagine trying to rearrange a tightly packed closet to make space for new clothes. Just as you might need to move items around or remove some to create space and restore order in your closet, nuclear energy involves rearranging the components within an atom's nucleus, either by splitting it apart or combining it with another. In both cases, the process of reordering or reorganizing releases energy; for your closet, it's the satisfaction and efficiency gained, while in nuclear reactions, it's the powerful energy released through fission (splitting) or fusion (combining) of atomic nuclei.
