  3. Sound Energy: This is the energy we hear as sound. It comes from vibrations in the air.
  4. Electrical Energy: This is the energy we use to power our homes and appliances. It comes from power plants.
  5. Chemical Energy: This is energy stored in molecules. It’s released when the bonds break. Such as, the food we eat has chemical energy.
  6. Mechanical Energy: this is the energy of motion.A moving car has mechanical energy.
  7. Nuclear Energy: This is the energy stored within the nucleus of an atom. it is indeed released during nuclear reactions.
  8. Radiant Energy: This is energy that travels in electromagnetic waves. Examples include radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.
