What is a small discrete unit of energy?
a particle!
What is small particle?
A small piece of matter. Depending on the context, it may be a grain of dust, or something much smaller, such as a molecule, an atom, or a subatomic particle.
Were is the sun's energy stored?
The sun stores energy in the subatomic particles (mostly hydrogen nuclei) of the plasma that makes it up. As our local star fuses these subatomic particles into helium and heavier nuclei, tremendous energy is liberated in the process. This is the engine by which the sun derives it power, and the term we apply to the process is stellar nucleosynthesis. Later in life, the sun will fuse progressively heavier nuclei together until it is primarily iron, then burn out and die. On earth, the energy of the sun that reaches here is stored as thermal energy in the materials on the earth. (A lot of this is re-radiated back into space at night.) It is also stored as chemical energy in plants. That chemical energy is transferred to animals. To a small degree, it is stored as electrical energy when we use solar (photovoltaic) panels to charge batteries.
What type of energy is stored in a stretched bungee cord?
Potential long time, small force
What kind of potential energy are there?
Here are a few:Gravitational potential energy, defined by the height of an objectElastic energy, e.g. the energy stored in a stretched rubber bandChemical energyElectric energy stored in a capacitorNuclear energyThere are probably a few more, which I am missing. I suggest checking the Wikipedia article on potential energy for more information.

How will you show the particle of matter is so small?
With identifying its atoms.

Matter smaller then atom?
Matter doesn't really have a shape of its own. Matter is the substance within any object. And an atom is a hypothetical particle of matter and is extremely small.

Why must energy be stored in small amounts?
because energy is stupid and you are to
What are the two results of the decay of biomass?
matter in the form of small molecules and this chemical breakdown also releases the energy stored in the chemical compounds in the biomass.
What are the the characteristics property of matter?
matter are composed by particles,particles are very small,particle have space between them
What are the characteristics of the properties of matter?
matter are composed by particles,particles are very small,particle have space between them
A kind of matter that is classified as a solution could also be classified as?
Small particle that is a building block of matter
How small are the particle of matter of potassium permanganate?
A molecule of potassium permanganate, KMnO4.
What is a small piece of matter?
Small matter, this can be answered depending on how you look at it, originally atoms were named because they were believed to be the smallest particle of matter and cannot be split anymore but scientists now know that subatomic particles exist such as quarks. They and others are building blocks of matter. http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/atoms.html A particle is a very small piece of matter. Particles are part of atoms. Atoms are the smallest unit of all substances.
The parhcle theory of matter?
The particle theory of matter states that matter is made up of very small particles that are always in constant motion.
