Potential energy: associated with position height above the surface of the earth. Chemical energy: relative position of nuclei and electrons. Much of what is observed is change from one form of energy to another. Chemists use calories (food calorie is 1000 cal) or joules, j. Other common units include the british thermal unit (btu) and kilowatt-hour. Food calorie is often given a capital c: calorie (kwh) Calorie the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1oc.
