energy

1. Thermal energy

1.1. Book definition: The total potential and kinetic energy related to the motion of all the microscopic particles in an object make up its thermal energy.

1.2. My definition:The motion of the particles create all of the objects energy.

1.3. Example: Molten metal,alluminum

2. potential energy

2.1. Book definition: energy that is stored as a result of position or shape.

2.2. My definition: Stored energy of an object.

2.3. Example: A bow pulled all the way back and a bout to be released.

3. Chemical energy

3.1. Book definition: Energy stored in chemical bonds.

3.2. My definition: The reactions of chemicals create energy.

3.3. Example:Coal ,gasoline
