| Chemical energy | energy stored in the bonds of molecules in matter. |
| Electrical energy | energy flowing in an electric circuit. |
| Energy | the ability to do work or cause change (make things happen). |
| Law of conservation of energy | energy can change its form, but is never created or destroyed. |
| Mechanical energy | energy due to the motion (kinetic) and position (potential) of an object. |
| Mechanical kinetic energy | energy an object has due to its motion. |
| Mechanical potential energy | energy an object has due to its position. |
| Nuclear energy | energy contained in the nucleus of an atom. |
| Radiant energy | energy that travels in transverse waves (such as light) through a material or through empty space. |
| Solar energy | energy from the Sun, which provides heat and light energy for Earth. |
| Sound energy | energy that travels in longitudinal waves through a substance. |
| Thermal (heat) energy | energy that is associated with the motion of the particles of a substance. |
| Transformation of energy | when energy changes from one form to another. |
