🔍 Key Concepts

• Forms of energy commonly discussed in basic physics (thermal, mechanical, chemical, kinetic) • How atoms and molecules are structured and what holds them together • Difference between motion-related energy and bond-related energy

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option is directly related to the bonds between atoms in a molecule, not the motion of the whole object or random motion of particles? • Consider which of these energies is stored in the arrangement of atoms and can be released during a reaction, like burning fuel or digesting food. • Eliminate the choices that mainly describe energy due to temperature or movement rather than atomic bonding.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which energies are primarily about motion (either of whole objects or particles). • Identify which energy type is associated with heat/temperature. • Focus on the choice that describes energy stored in atomic bonds and released during reactions.
