Before revision: Macroscopic thermal energy When the term 'thermal energy' refers to the internal energy of a body, one can think of chemical energy belonging to distinct molecules, and of global joint energy involved in the interactions between molecules and suchlike.
After revision: in addition to the microscopic kinetic energies of its molecules,Macroscopic thermal energy When the term 'thermal energy' refers to the internal energy of a body, one can think of chemical energy belonging to distinct molecules, and of global joint energy involved in the interactions between molecules and suchlike.
