RECOMMENDED LESSONS: Chemical energy. Chemical Energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules). It is released in a chemical reaction, often producing heat as a by product (exothermic reaction) . Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of stored chemical energy.
ATP and High-Energy Compounds. For a simple diatomic molecule e.g. H 2 , chemists define the bond energy as the energy needed to break. the H-H bond; this requires about 100 kcal/mole and chemists use the phrase high energy to signify that a. considerable amount of energy is needed to break the bond. The bond is strong.
