Heat
Heat is the energy transfer due to the difference in temperature. Heat is a form of energy which the system can exchange with the surroundings if they are at different temperatures. The heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.
Heat is expressed as 'q'
Heat absorbed by the system = +q
Heat evolved by the system = - q
Work
It is the energy transfer due to the difference in pressure that is, the mode of energy transfer.
Types of work
(i) Mechanical Work (Pressure volume work) = Force x Displacement
(ii) Electrical Work = Potential difference x charge flow , VQ = EnF
(iii)
(iv) Gravitational Work = mgh
Here m = mass of body,
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height moved.

Internal Energy or Intrinsic Energy
The energy stored within a substance is called its internal energy. The absolute value of internal energy cannot be determined.
Or
It is the total energy of a substance depending upon its chemical nature, temperature, pressure, and volume, amount of substrate. It does not depend upon path in which the final state is achieved.
The exact measurement of it is not possible so it is determined as as follows:
Facts about Internal Energy
It is an extensive property.
Internal energy is a state property.
The change in internal energy does not depend on the path by which the final state is reached.
Internal energy for an ideal gas is a function of temperature only so when the temperature is kept constant is zero for an ideal gas.
For a cyclic process is zero. (E = state function),
For an ideal gas, it is totally kinetic energy as there is no molecular interaction.
Internal energy for an ideal gas is a function of temperature only hence, when the temperature is kept constant it is zero.
At constant volume (Isochoric)
For exothermic process, is negative as but For endothermic process is positive as .
It is determined by using a Bomb calorimeter of the system.
