nulear
The plural of nucleus is "nuclei" - watch the spelling. The energy is called "nuclear energy". It is potential energy related to the nuclear forces.
The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.
Energy from the tiniest particles of matter is called atomic or nuclear energy. This type of energy is released during nuclear reactions within the nucleus of atoms.
The energy is stored in the atoms - in the forces between protons and neutrons - from the start, as a type of potential energy.
Chemical Energy
Chemical Energy
Chemical energy bonds atoms or ions together. This type of energy is stored in the bonds between atoms and is released or absorbed during chemical reactions.
When atoms are rearranged in a chemical reaction, the energy released or absorbed is due to the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. This energy is typically in the form of heat or light, depending on the specific reaction.
Transmutation
That is a type of potential energy.
