Internal energy is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. When the temperature of an object changes due to the addition or removal of energy via heat, we tend to think of it as "thermal energy".

The thermal energy of an object is?

The thermal energy of an object is the total kinetic energy of its particles due to their motion and the temperature of the object. It is a measure of the object's internal energy and is directly related to its temperature.


Thermal energy is the total energy of the particles in a material true or false?

No, There could be atomic states (optically excited electronic energy levels of atoms, and of semiconductors for example) that can store energy which is not regarded as heat (which can be sensed by a thermometer). Magnets can store lots of energy which is not thermal. Thermal energy is the energy which is stored as vibrations of atoms and molecules, detected by a thermometer of some kind.
