All matter carries energy and it can be transferred between objects. EVERYTHING has some sort of energy in it. The best example is collision between a particle and its antiparticle (e.g., electron and positron). The result of such a collision is complete annihilation of the matter and production of two gamma photons traveling in opposite directions (in the center of mass frame of reference). Gamma photons are a form of electromagnetic energy.

∙ 12y agoEnergy can be released when matter changes, and it can be absorbed.
For example, when you play Baseball the pitcher throws the ball and when it hits the bat, then the bat is absorbing the energy. When the ball comes back, that is when the energy is released.

∙ 11y agoEnergy can be released when matter changes. For example when something burns, such as natural gas (methane) combining with oxygen from the air, such as happens in a gas stove, to form carbon dioxide and water and release lots of energy. If you use a gas stove, this is how you cook.
Energy can be absorbed when matter changes. For example, when ice in your glass absorbs heat from the room and melts, a phase change from ice to water, energy is absorbed.
Matter can change without either net absorption or net release of energy, but some energy may be borrowed to enable the change and then returned after the change.

∙ 6y agoCan it "change"? No. Energy is required for change. A change can occur without a net release or gain of energy, but energy is there even if only in the form of existing. Every existing molecule has a surprising amount of energy bound keeping it together. (E=MC^2?)

∙ 15y agoIn the case of what is known as an exothermic reaction energy is released during the reaction. A simple example would be the burning of wood. Or when caustic soda is put into water.

∙ 11y agoYes. Every chemical or physical change in matter includes a change in energy. For example, bending a paper clip, and ice changing to water.

What happens to energy when matter undergoes chemical or physical change?
Energy can either be soaked up by the matter in the process of making the change (melting), or be released from the matter during the change (fire).
How do you change one state of matter to another?
You change one state of matter to another by heating the matter or cooling it [aka] adding energy or removing the energy
Is citric acid powder the same as energy?
No. Citric acid is matter. Energy is that which allows change in matter in the form of heat and movement.
Why do people burn coal and oil?
Heat can cause some matter to burn. Burning is a chemical change. When fuel burns, the energy stored inside it is released.
What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy called?
a chemical change is taking place
What happens to energy when matter undergoes chemical or physical change?

Can a change in matter take place without energy being released or absorbed?
No, a change in matter can't take place without energy being released or absorbed? Why? Well, this is because every chemical or physical change in matter includes a change in energy. You can't change matter without a change in energy. Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Hope you find this helpful. And yes, this answer has been approved by my science teacher.
Can energy be released when matter can it be absorbed can a change in matter in matter take place in which energy is neither released nor absorbed?
Energy can be released when matter changes. For example when something burns, such as natural gas (methane) combining with oxygen from the air, such as happens in a gas stove, to form carbon dioxide and water and release lots of energy. If you use a gas stove, this is how you cook. Energy can be absorbed when matter changes. For example, when ice in your glass absorbs heat from the room and melts, a phase change from ice to water, energy is absorbed. Matter can change without either net absorption or net release of energy, but some energy may be borrowed to enable the change and then returned after the change.
Small amounts of matter change to immense qualities of energy released by nuclear weapons?
Yes
What is absorbed or released when matter changes from one state to another?
yes. Matter can change state when thermal energy is absorbed or released.
Can energy change to one anothere?
Yes, for instance potential energy can change into kientic energy and electromagnetic raditaion energy can change into thermal or chemical energy. It is also possible to change matter into energy and energy into matter.
What energy is released when energy changes?
I assume you mean when matter reacts; energy is created.There is no way for particular forms of energy (IE light energy, gravitational energy) to "change form"
What produces the large amount of energy released by the nuclear reaction?
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
When absorbed light energy is released by matter it is called what?
Example for light energy is absorbed or released, Heat is released and absorbed, electrical energy absorbed or released...
What happens to the energy in matter that is decaying?
Energy is released.
How do you change one state of matter to another?
You change one state of matter to another by heating the matter or cooling it [aka] adding energy or removing the energy
endothermic?
A reaction where energy is taken in.
