Which statement describes thermal energy? the energy that is associated with electric fields the energy that is stored in chemical bonds the energy that is associated with the pull of gravity the energy that is associated with temperature

Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The energy possessed by a system or substance due to the vibrational, potential or kinetic etc energies of molecules of the system is known as thermal energy.

On increasing the temperature, the collision between the molecules increases as a result all the energies existing with the molecules also increase.

Therefore, the thermal energy will also increase due to increase in temperature.

Thus, we can conclude that thermal energy is the energy that is associated with temperature.
