Which of the following is NOT a form of potential energy? Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or configuration. Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of molecules, gravitational energy is stored in an object's height above the ground, and elastic energy is stored in a stretched or compressed object. Sound energy, however, is a form of kinetic energy, the energy of motion. It is produced by vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air or water.
- A.
Chemical energy
