How is chemical energy and nuclear energy considered potential energy?

Potential energy is energy based on position, as a result of moving things against (or with) forces (more specifically, so-called "conservative" forces, but I won't go into details about that here).
It requires a force to separate two atoms; therefore, you have potential energy there.
It also requires a force (a much greater force in this case) to separate the nucleons in an atom; as a result, you once again have potential energy.

What is a form of energy that comes from chemical bonds?
The form of energy that comes from chemical bonds is known as chemical energy. Chemical energy is considered potential energy, as it requires a transformation to occur.
Convert chemical energy into nuclear energy?
No, chemical energy is completely different to nuclear energy
How do you turn nuclear energy into chemical energy?
Nuclear energy is turned into thermal energy, not chemical energy
Is a chemical energy a type of potential or kinetic energy?
Chemical energy is a type of potential energy.
Is the energy sstored in a covalent bond a form of Chemical kinetic energy or chemical potential energy?
Chemical potential energy
What is the energy stored in an object that is not moving?
Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object, and can be changed into kinetic, or other forms of energy. There are many types, such as Elastic Potential Energy and Gravitational Potential Energy.
The primary source of a quasar's energy is chemical energy nuclear energy gravitational potential energy?
gravitational potential energy
Is fission considered chemical energy?
Not. It is nuclear energy.
What are some kinds of potential energy?
Energy stored in a spring; gravitational potential energy; chemical energy; nuclear energy.
Is coal a nuclear or motion energy?
Coal is a fossil fuel, which possesses potential chemical energy. It is not nuclear or kinetic
Different types of potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy; elastic energy (such as the one stored in springs); chemical energy; nuclear energy.
What is a form of energy that comes from chemical bonds?
The form of energy that comes from chemical bonds is known as chemical energy. Chemical energy is considered potential energy, as it requires a transformation to occur.
What are two forms of potential energy?
In apex, the answers for 2 potential energies, the answers are Elastic, and Magnetic energy.
What is potential energy important?
Potential energy that is important in practice includes: * Gravitational potential energy * Elastic energy * Chemical energy (including food energy) * Nuclear energy
How is chemical burn similar to nuclear fusion?
Energy is released - in one case from chemical potential energy stored in the electrical bonds, and in the other from the nuclear potential energy stored by the nucleons in the nucleus and seen as a reduction in mass.
What are the formations of energy?
the formations of energy are nuclear, chemical, heat, light, sound, kinetic, gravitational potential and potential energys.
What are 6 forms of energy?
thermal,nuclear, chemical, electrical, wave, potential, and kinetic energy
