The energy due to motion of molecules within a mass is called heat
Thermal energy
It would not be the potential energy because potential is the measure of energy that is not in motion yet. When you measure the temperature and it reads 200 degrees YOU WILL FEEL IT because the objects molecules are in motion. If you measured its potential energy at this point of 200 degrees it would probably be close to zero if not zero. When you measure the temperature you are measuring the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is the measure of how much energy the molecules have that are in motion.
Thermal energy is not the energy stored by things that stretch or compress. This type of energy applies to strain potential energy. Thermal energy refers to motion energy due to the random vibration of atoms or molecules within an object.
Kinetic energy is energy within an object in motion Potential energy is energy within an object that is stored
The energy that comes from an object's motion is called kinetic energy. The object's kinetic energy can be found by using the equation K=1/2mv2 which means that kinetic energy is equal to one-half of the object's mass multiplied by the square of its speed.
related to the motion of molecules
Thermal energy
All molecules are in constant motion. Molecules of a liquid have more freedom of movement than those in a solid. Molecules in a gas have the greatest degree of motion. Heat, temperature and the motion of molecules are all related. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a material. Heat is the energy transferred between materials that have different temperatures. Increasing the temperature increases the translational motion of molecules Energy is related to temperature by the relationship: E= kT

The energy stored my molecules of a compound is called "chemical energy"
Kinetic energy is energy within an object in motion Potential energy is energy within an object that is stored
Heat is simply a form of energy generally caused by molecular friction. Heat energizes the molecules of any material, and the subsequent motion causes the generation of frictional heat within the material itself. This transfers the Heat (energy) from one place to another. It can occur from outside to inside a material, or entirely within the material as neighboring molecules are excited into motion. Metal or not, this is how heat is transferred .
Chlorophyll.
The energy of Atp molecules is not stored in any of its phosphate groups. Its energy is stored between and within the bonds of the phosphate groups of [Amp], Adp and Atp molecules.
Heat cause kinetic energy within an element or compound.
Thermal energy is defined as the movement of molecules within an object.
