 Types of energy
Although all types of energy have the ability to apply force over a distance
and hence conduct work, not all of them are equally important to
chemistry. Tidal waves, for instance, can be used to provide useful energy,
although there is little connection between tidal waves and chemistry.
Chemists definitely perform processes that result in directed energy
change. Chemists are particularly interested in one type of energy called
kinetic energy, which is the energy generated by a moving object. Other
types of energy include chemical energy, potential energy, thermal energy,
and radiant energy.

Radiant energy
is the primary energy source for Earth and originates
from the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis,
solar energy warms the Earth's surface and
atmosphere. It also has an impact on regional
temperature patterns.

Thermal energy
the power behind molecules' and atoms' haphazard motion. In
general, temperature readings can be used to determine thermal
energy. A sample of matter will get hotter and have more thermal
energy the more vigorously the atoms and molecules are moving
within it. However, it's important to make a clear distinction between
thermal energy and temperature. The temperature of a cup of coffee
at 70°C is higher than the temperature of warm water in a bathtub at
40°C, but the thermal energy stored in the water in the bathtub is
significantly higher since it has a larger volume and mass than the
coffee, which results in more water molecules and molecular motion.

Chemical energy
The type and arrangement of the constituent atoms affect the
quantity of energy that is stored inside the structural units of
chemical compounds. Chemical energy is produced during
chemical processes and can either be released, retained, or
transformed into other types of energy.
