The potential chemical energy in fossil fuels and food was stored by plants that converted the sun's radiant energy into chemical energy.
Fossil fuels such as coal store chemical kinetic energy?
Burning them releases the chemical energy.
Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
When you burn it, the chemical energy is converted to thermal energy.
Yes, it is. Because coal and fuel(oil) are both fossil fuels and contain stored chemical energy that needs no further treatment to produce thermal energy as they burn. So fossil fuel is a form of chemical energy.
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.

Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
Nonrenewable fossil fuels, like oil and coal, store a lot chemical energy in the bonds between its molecules. When these fossil fuels are burned, the chemical energy is released.
Chemical.

When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
