What are the 7 forms of energy?


Types of Energy - Kinetic, Potential, Mechanical, Chemical ...

The 7 common types of energy are nuclear, radiant, thermal, electrical, chemical, mechanical, and sound. These represent different ways energy is stored or transferred, such as the energy in the nucleus of an atom (nuclear), the energy of moving waves (radiant), the energy of heat (thermal), the energy from moving charges (electrical), the energy in chemical bonds (chemical), the energy of motion and position (mechanical), and the energy of vibrations (sound).  

Nuclear Energy: Stored in the nucleus of an atom and released during nuclear reactions like fission or fusion. 

Radiant Energy: Carries through space in electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves. 

Thermal Energy: The internal energy of a substance due to the vibration of its atoms and molecules; also known as heat energy. 

Electrical Energy: The energy from the flow of electric charge, or the position of charged particles. 

Chemical Energy: Stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules; released during chemical reactions. 

Mechanical Energy: The energy of motion (kinetic energy) and position (potential energy). This includes gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy. 

Sound Energy: Energy that travels as vibrations or waves through a substance.
