Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where is chemical energy stored in molecules?
A
In the atoms
B
In the chemical bonds between atoms
C
There is no energy stored in molecules
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical energy is stored in the bonds that connect atoms with other atoms and molecules with other molecules. Because chemical energy is stored, it is a form of potential energy. When a chemical reaction takes place, the stored chemical energy is released.

Detailed explanation-2: -The potential energy of chemical energy is found stored in the chemical bonds that bind atoms in molecules. Breaking these bonds apart or reforming them by adding fuels or reactants releases the chemical energy in the bonds. We call this breaking and forming of bonds a chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The energy stored in the chemical bonds of a molecule and available to perform work once that bond is broken is called the chemical potential energy of the molecule.
