Luminescence

• Heat - results from movement of atoms; considered as energy in due to relations to temperature
• Kinetic - energy of motion
• Potential - energy due to an object's position
• Mechanical - the sum of kin...

• It has low thermal and electrical conductivity, but high electronegativity and ionization energy. 
• The solid form is brittle rather than malleable or ductile. 
• The atoms readily gain electrons and form covalent chemical bonds.

A complex process involves various components interacting across multiple scales in time and space. To lift a foot requires electrical, chemical, and mechanical parts to coordinate across molecular, cellular, organ, and systemic levels.
