D

nuclear

Energy contained by the nucleus of atoms

radiant

Energy from the electromagnetic spectrum such as visible light, x-rays, infrared,etc.

kinetic/motion

Energy of objects in motion

sound

Energy produced when matter vibrates and makes the the small bones of your ears move. The movement is transmitted to your nerve cells and then brain.

Magnetic

Energy stored in the magnetic field between 2 magnets due to their positions apart from each other.

Chemical

Energy that is stored in bonds between atoms and molecules.

Electrical

Energy used to power appliances, lights, heating systems.
