Potential energy: stored energy, energy an object has because of its location or chemical structure. Chemical energy: potential energy that can be released in a chemical reaction. Thermodynamics: study of energy and its transformations. Isolated system- does not exchange matter/energy with surroundings. Closed system- can exchange energy but not matter with surroundings. Open system- can exchange both energy and matter with surroundings. First law of thermodynamics: energy can be transformed from 1 form to another or transferred from 1.
