Answer:

Chemical Energy is released when bonds form in a chemical reaction, often producing heat as a by-product.

Mechanical Energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both.

Thermal Energy is what we call energy that comes from the temperature of matter. The hotter the substance, the more its molecules vibrate, and therefore the higher its thermal energy.

Electrical Energy is caused by moving electric charges called electrons. The faster the charges move, the more electrical energy they carry.
