    Work = Path function.

    Energy = State function.

    Distance traveled = Path function.

    Enthalpy = State function.

    Heat = Path function.

    Explanation:

    Hello,

    At first, a state function is a property whose value does not depend on the path taken to reach that specific function or value, as in this case, energy and enthalpy.

    On the other hand, path functions are functions that depend on the path taken to reach that specific value, as in this case, work, distance traveled and heat since different paths will provide different values for each one of them.

    Best regards.
