the nucleus in an atom is completely stable because the protons and neutrons in them do not move hence the nucleus of an atom holds a small amount of kinetic energy.

How does the stability of a nucleus change during a nuclear reaction?

Basically two atoms collide and form another atom plus a spare neutron and releases energy. The two atoms to start with are normally the isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium, and will form helium when fused together.


The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the atoms in an object?

Internal energy.


Describe the change in kinetic energy when the temperature of an object increases?

The more an objects kinetic energy increases the more it's temperature increases. An object that is traveling at 30 miles per hour will have a higher temperature than an object traveling at 10 miles per hour. This is in part due to friction. Mostly however, it is due to the fact that kinetic energy excites atoms in the object raising the objects temperature. You could put it like this: temperature = energy + atoms. Hope this helps.


Where is the energy stored in a molecule of ATP?

Energy is held in a molecule in several ways:translational energy - the kinetic energy of the molecule depending on its mass and velocityrotational energy - the energy of the spinning of the moleculevibrational energy - the energy of the atoms of the molecule vibrating closer and further from one another - stretching and compressing the bonds. The flexing/bending of the bonds is a special case of this. Of course there is energy in the bonds themselves which when broken can be a source of energy and when formed store energynuclear energy - the binding energies in the nucleus of each atom. Unless you are looking at nuclear decay or some other kind of nuclear reaction, this is not normally an energy you consider when thinking about energy held in a molecule


What substances make up temperature?

None. Temperature is a term/concept that affects any substance and any atom. Temperature describes the kinetic energy (dependend on their speed) that the atoms your substance is made of have. Dependend on your substance you need different amount of heat energy to change the temperature. This property is called heat capacity.

When the kinetic energy of atoms increases thermal energy increases or decreases?

Thermal energy (temperature) is the measurement of kinetic energy of atoms moving in a substance, therefore, as the speed (kinetic energy) of these atoms increases, thermal energy increases as well.

Is the energy stored in the bonds between atoms potential or kinetic energy?

It is potential energy. It becomes kinetic when a bond is broken.
