  3. in this definition of temperature, is "energy" only kinetic?

in this definition of temperature, is "energy" only kinetic?

When temperature is defined as the partial derivative of internal
energy with respect to entropy, does "internal energy" include just
*kinetic* energy?
Or does it also include potential energy, e.g. in inter-atomic bonds?
Thanks!

Example: Water: Ice, liqid, wapor, dissociated into atoms, ionized atoms. It seems that it also includes potential energy. kunzmilan
