Best Answer

In the phosphate tails of the molecule. These three phosphate groups contain two charged oxygen's apiece and thes naturally repel each other which makes the molecule have unstable tails which have much potential energy released in oxidative phosphorylation.

Energy is stored in ATP just like a battery when a cell has energy available, it can store small amounts of it by adding a phosphate group to ADP molecules.

In the tail of the molecule which is made up of three phosphate groups who have two charged oxygen per bonded group. The potential energy in this arrangement is very high.
