More correctly you are thinking of enthalpy. Enthalpy, Heat, and Work all have the same units (Joules), so they are all Energy in some form. The difference is that Enthalpy refers to the energy of the system, while both Heat and Work refer to processes that cause energy flows between systems (in the Thermodynamic sense of systems with defined boundaries).

Enthalpy will depend on the atomic content of the system.
