Chemistry: Notes I took in class on Heat and Energy.

Energy- the ability to do work or produce Heat
*Potential
*Kinetic
Potential Energy- Energy that is stored; comes from composition or position of object
Ex: Energy stored in foods and fuels energy possessed by H2O behind a dam
Chemical Potential Energy- Stored Energy held within the bonds that hold atoms or molecules together. Some molecules hold more energy than others.
Ex: Fuels like gasoline
Ex: Foods like carbs
Kinetic Energy- Energy in motion. Kinetic energy is directly related to the constant, random motion of its atoms.
2 different types of energy reactions:
*Endothermic- reacti…
