chapter 3 Flashcards
energy
capacity to do work
potential energy
energy in position or stored
kinetic energy
energy in motion
chemical energy
form of potential energy
energy released from chemical bonds when bond is broken
forms of kinetic energy
electrical, mechanical, sound, radiant, heat
electrical energy
movement of charged particles
mechanical energy
exhibited by objects in motion due to applied force
sound energy
molecule compression caused by vibrating object
radiant energy
energy of electromagnetic waves
heat
kinetic energy from movement of atoms, ions, molecules
thermodynamics
study of energy transformations
1st law of thermodynamics
energy can’t be created or destroyed it can only change in form
2nd law of thermodynamics
energy is transformed; some energy is lost to heat
oxidation-reduction reaction
redox reaction ; electrons moved from one chemical structure to another
oxidation (oxidized)
structure that loses electron
reduction (reduced)
structure that gains an electron
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
NAD+
