Internal energy
The internal energy of a material includes both the kinetic and potential energy of particles. Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of particles, while potential energy is associated with the interactions between particles, such as chemical bonds or intermolecular forces.
Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position or state (e.g. gravitational potential energy). Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy and vice versa.
In chemistry, kinetic energy and potential energy play crucial roles in determining the behavior and interactions of particles. Kinetic energy, related to the motion of particles, influences temperature and reaction rates; higher kinetic energy often leads to faster reactions. Potential energy, on the other hand, is associated with the arrangement and interactions of particles, such as in chemical bonds; changes in potential energy can drive chemical reactions, as energy is absorbed or released during bond formation and breaking. Together, these forms of energy dictate the stability and reactivity of substances.
The energy a particle possesses due to its position relative to other charged particles is referred to as potential energy. This energy is stored in the system and is related to the charges and distances between the particles. As particles move and interact, this potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy.
At the microscopic level, thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, including atoms and molecules, due to their random motion. As temperature increases, these particles move faster and collide more frequently, resulting in greater thermal energy. This energy can be transferred between particles through collisions, leading to the transfer of heat. Thus, thermal energy is a manifestation of the microscopic motion and interactions of matter.
The total potential and kinetic energy of all microscopic particles in an object make up its internal energy. This includes the energy associated with the motion and interactions of the particles within the object.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.

The sum of total energies of all microscopic particles is equal to the internal energy of that object.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.
The total energy of an object is the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The total energy remains constant in a closed system according to the law of conservation of energy.

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy.
Internal energy at the microscopic level and thermodynamic or mechanical energy at the macroscopic level. According to conservation of energy the sum of kinetic and potential energy is zero.
Electrical energy is related to the kinetic and potential energy of particles in a system through the movement and interactions of charged particles. When electrical energy is applied to a system, it can cause the particles to move, increasing their kinetic energy. Additionally, the electric field created by the electrical energy can store potential energy within the system's particles.
