What is an electron energy level?

I don't really know what it is... if someone could give me a link that explains what it is in details (but still in the realm of algebra), thank you.

Thanks for that, but would you happen to know a link with a more "lecture" inclined text?

Do you want to know about atomic orbitals in the scope of physics or chemistry? The latter is typically where they're introduced, whereas the physics of atomic orbitals are extremely complex.

A quick search of Google should yield what you're looking for.
