Preferred Label : energy;
Detailed label : energy, E;
IUPAC definition : In mechanics the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. In thermodynamics the
thermodynamic energy or thermodynamic energy increase, ΔU, is the sum of heat and
work brought to the system. Only changes in energy are measurable. For photons \[E
h\ \nu \]where h is the Planck constant and ν the frequency of radiation. In relativistic
physics \[E m\ c {2}\] where c is the speed of light and m the mass.;
