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.
Bond energy is the energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms. Characteristics of the Covalent Bond When two atoms form a covalent bond, their shared electrons form overlapping orbitals. This achieves a noble- gas configuration. The bonding of two hydrogen atoms allows each atom to have the stable electron configuration of helium, 1s2.
