Which term identifies a form of energy?

1 - combustion

2-exothermic

3-thermal

4-electrolytic

I guess it is thermal energy

Answer: The correct answer is Option 3.

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the capacity to do work such as moving an object.

For the given options:

Combustion is a type of reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water molecule. Exothermic is a type of reaction in which heat is released as the products are formed. Thermal energy is possessed when heat is produced. This heat is produced due to the movement of particles in an object. Electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell that undergoes a redox reaction through electrical energy.

Hence, only thermal energy is a form of energy. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
