Internal energy
is the energy stored inside a system by the
particles
Internal energy
=
potential energy
+
kinetic energy
Thermal energy
is The total energy of an object due to the
kinetic energy
of its
atoms
and/or molecules depending on its mass.
In
thermal energy
, Every system above
absolute zero
(-2730c) has a positive thermal energy.
Temperature
is the measures of the average
kinetic energy
of molecules
Temperature
of an object can take negative, but the thermal
energy of a system cannot be negative.
Freezing
and
condensation
are
exothermic
.
Melting
,
boiling
and
sublimation
are endothermic.
