Questions and Answers

What is thermal energy?

  • The difference in internal energy between the final and initial states of a system
  • The energy transfer to or from a thermodynamic system
  • The kinetic energy of vibrating and colliding atoms in a substance (correct)
  • The energy stored in the microscopic degrees of freedom of the modes of vibration

In thermodynamics, what is heat defined as?
