Internal energy (U) is the sum total of all forms of energy possessed by a system.

A system's internal energy includes the kinetic energy of its constituent particles (translational, rotational, vibrational motion) plus the potential energy arising from chemical bonds and intermolecular/interatomic interactions. It is a state function - its value depends only on the current state of the system, not on how that state was reached.

By contrast:

  • Enthalpy (H = U + PV) is the heat content at constant pressure, not the total energy itself. …
