I don't know if I will get ALL, but will try. For a start, Kinetic energy due to movement. Potential energy can be due to gravity, or could be held in a compressed spring (elastic energy). Thermal energy is basically due to molecular movement or vibration, so is a form of kinetic energy. Sound energy is due to compression waves in a gas. Electromagnetic energy takes different forms due to different frequencies, microwaves, laser light, gamma rays for example. Electric energy is due to movement of electric charges, and magnetic energy is due to movement of magnets in a magnetic field. Chemical energy is as a result of chemical reactions rearranging molecular bonds, this includes burning which is a reaction with oxygen. Nuclear energy is due to changes in binding energy within the nucleus resulting in mass changes. And mass energy is simply Einstein's famous equation E = mc2.
