The system 4 of 9 Thermal Due to microscopic vibrations and movement of atoms and molecules 5 of 9 Electrical Can be associated with static electric charge and potential, or moving charges, current and magnetism 6 of 9 Nuclear Due to binding of subatomic particles (protons and neutrons) on the nuclei of atoms. Changes here relate to nuclear decay. 7 of 9 Chemical Intrinsic to the microscopic structure of the material and chemical bond energies. 8 of 9 Mechanical Either potential energy due to mass and position in a gravitational field or kinetic due to mass and speed. 9 of 9
