The study of energy and its transformation, as it applies to chemistry, is know as THERMOCHEMISTRY, along with spontaneity, the two are referred to as THERMODYNAMICS Section 5.1- Nature of Energy The study of chemistry and thermodynamics will involve the concepts of energy, work, and heat KINETIC and POTENTIAL Energy Kinetic ? energy due to an objects motion
