What is the ability to do work
Accepted Answer
The ability to do work is a fundamental concept in physics known as energy. Energy is the capacity to cause change, and it exists in various forms, including kinetic energy (energy of motion), potential energy (stored energy due to position or configuration), electrical energy, thermal energy (heat), and chemical energy (stored in chemical bonds). Understanding energy is essential in chemistry as it is involved in chemical reactions, energy transfer, and the study of thermodynamics.
