• force

Energy stored in the bonds holding atoms together is known as:

• Elastic Potential Energy (EPE)

• Chemical Potential Energy (CPE)

• Thermal (te)

A system in which matter and energy exchanges do NOT occur across boundaries

• closed system

• open system

• isolated system

• equilibrium system

Energy due to the flow of electrons. Electrical energy is a form of kinetic energy because the electrons jump from one atom to another.
