reactions (breaking of atomic bonds) such as burning gasoline or digesting food releases the stored chemical energy and changes it into another form of energy (usually heat) which leaves the system. Energy is lost but total mass always stays the same. Combustion (burning) changes the size and shape of the materials, but the total mass is exactly the same before and after. Energy Forms - 7 energy: the energy that holds protons Nuclear and neutrons together inside the nucleus of an atom; PE; produced in two ways. Nuclear fusion: energy stored in hydrogen atoms join to form helium releasing large amounts of electromagnetic energy Nuclear fission: the nuclei of atoms are split converting the potential nuclear energy into kinetic electromagnetic energy energy: TE is also called heat energy. Thermal All atoms and molecules are in motion at all times. At room temperature, atoms jiggle at about 1000 mph. Heat energy is the total kinetic energy (KE) of the particles that make an object or the
