Question

Blank + blank = internal energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

kinectic + electric = internal

Step-by-step explanation:

Internal energy U of a system or a body with well defined boundaries is the total of the kinetic energy due to the motion of molecules and the potential energy associated with the vibrational motion and electric energy of atoms within molecules. Internal energy also includes the energy in all the chemical bonds.

Answer 2

Answer:

The internal energy of a system is identified with the random, disordered motion of molecules; the total (internal) energy in a system includes potential and kinetic energy. This is contrast to external energy which is a function of the sample with respect to the outside environment (e.g. kinetic energy if the sample is moving or potential energy if the sample is at a height from the ground etc). The symbol for Internal Energy Change is ΔU .

Energy on a smaller scale

Internal energy includes energy on a microscopic scale

It is the sum of all the microscopic energies such as:

translational kinetic energy

vibrational and rotational kinetic energy

potential energy from intermolecular forces

One gram of water at zero °Celsius compared with one gram of copper at zero °Celsius do NOT have the same internal energy because even though their kinetic energies are equal, water has a much higher potential energy causing its internal energy to be much greater than the copper's internal energy.
