• Energy store in the bonds of atoms and molecules
Nuclear Energy
• Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
Wind Energy
• Type of motion energy – energy stored in the movement of objects
Radiant energy
• Example: Solar Energy– The light of the sun is generated from the intense
heat energy• Example: Light Energy– Heat comes before light
