Energy is the ability to do work. There are multiples types of energy. The two types of energy that most people are familiar with are potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy, and kinetic energy is energy in motion. A ball placed upon a shelf is an example of potential energy. A waterfall is an example of kinetic energy. Another form of energy is chemical energy which is the form of energy that is used most often. People use chemical energy everyday. Chemical energy is product of eactions that occur in chemical compounds. A chemical compound is consisted of atoms that are bound together. As the bonds between these atoms loosens or breaks, a chemical reaction will occur, and new compounds are created. Chemical energy is used adn can be observed every day. An example of chemical energy is the sun rays beaming on earth and sendind its heat to earth. This is a chemical reaction taking place that produces chemical energy in the form of heat.
