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.
The distance between two bonded atoms at their minimum potential energy (the average distance between two bonded atoms) is the bond length. In forming a covalent bond, the hydrogen atoms release energy. Bond energy is the energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms.
