What is Thermal Energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the internal energy present in a system due to the kinetic energy of its molecules. It is often associated with heat.

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. It is released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.
