Question

What is chemical potential energy?

A) energy stored by atoms
B) energy from gravity
C) energy of motion
D) energy stored in height differences

Answer 1

A) energy stored by atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical potential energy is the energy stored by atoms. This energy form can be converted to other forms of energy.

• For most of the energy needs in the biosphere, this form of energy is very important.
• When bonds are broken, this energy is released as it is converted to other forms of energy.
• The food we eat contains chemical potential energy within its structure.
