Molecules split apart and combine using electrical energy, not heat. -blam!-lord.
Heat is a type of energy. Fire is energy.Yes, but niether is ELECTRICAL energy. There's a difference. If there wasn't any difference between types of energy, we'd be shocked everytime we moved, as the chemical energy burned by our bodies would be no different from electrical energy. (By the way, fire isn't actual energy itself, it's the chemical reaction that turns the chemical energy of wood (or whatever you're burning) into heat.)
Congratulations, you know that heat is energy. Want a cookie?
No seriously, I'll give you another one if you tell me what 2+2 is.
PS: I knew that ozone was O3, but I haven't taken chem yet either. There has to be some difference, otherwise the hole in the ozone layer would make it so no one in Antartica could breathe. O3 is just exremely adept at absorbing UV radiation. Actually, extra ozone would make the planet cooler and more suited to life, albeit we couldn't breathe it.
