Question

match each form of energy with its correct description. chemical thermal electrical mechanical involving energy stored in chemical bonds involving the position and motion of an object involving the motion of atoms involving electrical charges

Explanation:

• Chemical energy is stored in chemical bonds.
• Thermal energy is related to the motion of atoms (as temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of atoms/molecules).
• Electrical energy involves electrical charges (e.g., in circuits with moving electrons).
• Mechanical energy is about the position (potential) and motion (kinetic) of an object.

Answer:

• chemical: involving energy stored in chemical bonds
• thermal: involving the motion of atoms
• electrical: involving electrical charges
• mechanical: involving the position and motion of an object
