Energy is created when water freezes.
Energy is destroyed when sugar is burned.
Energy stays inside molecules permanently.
Energy is transferred when atoms are rearranged.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

"Energy is transferred when atoms are rearranged."

This follows conservation of energy: energy is neither created nor destroyed but converted or transferred (for example, chemical bond energy becomes heat and light when sugar burns; freezing releases latent heat to the surroundings).
