Chemical potential energy is a form of potential energy related to the structural arrangement of atoms or molecules. This arrangement may be the result of chemical bonds within a molecule or otherwise. Chemical energy of a chemical substance can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction.
Electrical current will flow through a solid by the means of
electrons. The electrons in the solid
must be able to move from lower to higher electrical potential. The electric
current in certain solid electrolytes like ice is entirely composed of flowing
ions.
