Energy can change when a substance undergoes a phase change (such as melting or vaporization) or a chemical reaction. During these processes, energy is either absorbed (endothermic) or released (exothermic) as the internal structure of the substance changes. This energy change is due to the breaking or forming of bonds between atoms, resulting in a change in the overall energy content of the system.
The ratio of specific heats table provides information about the ratio of the specific heat capacities of different substances. This ratio is important in understanding how substances respond to changes in temperature and energy.
When potential energy changes to kinetic energy, it is called energy transformation.
When energy changes form, some of the energy always changes into heat. This is known as the law of conservation of energy, where energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transferred or converted into different forms. Heat is a common byproduct of energy transformations due to inefficiencies in the process.
When substances are heated, their molecules gain energy and move more rapidly. This increase in molecular motion can cause substances to change state (e.g. from solid to liquid), react with other substances, or decompose into simpler chemical components. Ultimately, heating a substance can lead to a variety of physical and chemical changes depending on the specific properties of the substance.
Changes in energy are typically referred to as energy transformations or energy conversions, as energy changes from one form to another. This can include processes like converting electrical energy to kinetic energy in a motor or converting chemical energy in food to mechanical energy in our bodies.
Most substances lose or gain energy when their temperature changes.

it is the "power house" of a cell, and changes substances within the cell into energy.
change in properties and changes in energy
In physical changes, the total amount of energy before and after remains the same as no new substances are formed. In chemical changes, there may be a difference in the total amount of energy before and after the reaction due to the formation of new substances and the breaking or forming of chemical bonds.
When a substance changes from a liquid to a solid it releases energy. (You take the heat out)
An energy change is where one type of energy EG kinetic is changed to another type of energy by a transducer eg electrical energy. A chemical change is where two substances react to make a new substance
A reaction between two substances or the decomposition of a substance are chemical changes.
