Well, as it is not possible for electrons to be stationary one could answer yes, but that isn't really correct. Chemical energy is associated with the chemical bonds that hold atoms together in molecules. Chemical bonds are produced by the valence electrons of atoms.

What are moving electrons called?

Moving electrons or other charged carriers is called electricity. The amount of electrical pressure pushing the electrons is called the voltage. The number of electrons moving past some point in a given time is called the current. Electrons are subatomic particles (smaller than atoms) called leptons.


Why is the burning gasoline in a car a chemical change?

Chemistry is just a subset of physics in general. A chemical event is the interaction of electrons of one atom with neighbouring atoms. For certain such interactions to take place, energy has to be added. Heat causes the molecules of gasoline to break apart and recombine with oxygen in the air. This in turn releases more energy, so the reaction continues around it as long as there is gasoline and oxygen available. Heat is really just "more frantically moving atoms". With sufficient movement, the energy causes chemical bonds, i.e. the configuration of electrons between atoms, to break or be made.


The light produced by signs using neon gas results from electrons that are?

It is moving from a higher to a lower pricipal energy level.


When moving down a group ( family) in the periodic table the number of valence electrons?

When moving down a group, the number of valence electrons do not change. This similarity yields the elements in the same groups to have same chemical properties. For example, elements in group 17 obtain one electron to stabilize as -1 ion.In a group, all the elements have a same number of valence electrons. So their chemical properties are equal. But the physical properties vary.Valence electrons are the electrons in outermost shell.The valence electrons remain same in a group. For example-Group-1 elements have 1 valence electron.


What are some examples of chemical to electrical energy?

ex: mechanical energy * a running person * moving windmill * person throwing a ball ex: electrical energy * t.v * computer * toaster
