Chemical energy is a form of potential energy because they both are forms of stored energy.
Because of this, atoms and molecules can have chemical potential energy. Anytime two atoms form a strong covalent or ionic bond or two molecules form a weak van der Waals bond, chemical energy is converted into other forms of energy, usually in the form of heat and light.
Oh my. We certainly don't want to say this:
"potential: it is stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules waiting to be released."
That is something you might hear in a Biology class. That's where you hear that nonsense about energy being released as bonds are broken. Sorry. It takes the INPUT of energy to break bonds.
No. "Chemical energy" is too broad a term. All molecules have "kinetic energy". And the "stored energy" of a system of reactants and products can increase or decrease depending upon whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic.

Potential, because it needs some chemical reaction to be started to release it.
Chemical energy (let's say stored in batteries) is a potential energy. Potential energy is the same as stored energy. Whereas kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
If the question is asking if chemical energy is potential energy or kinetic energy, the answer is that it is neither. It is a distinct form of energy.
IT is keneic because it is already there
Chemical potential energy
No. Most chemical energy is potential (stored) energy. Energy that is released by chemical reactions is a form of kinetic energy.
A dam holding water is potential energy. Kinetic energy requires motion. The general formula for kinetic energy is: Ekinetic = ½m·v² If there is no movement, velocity (v) is 0.
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.
Yes, chemical energy is a form of potential energy. An example is the chemical energy in coal, which can be burned to convert that chemical energy into thermal energy.
Chemical potential energy
It is a form of potential energy.
chemical potential energy
When one form of energy (kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy ,ect) is changed into another energy (chemical, kinetic, sound, ect)
When one form of energy (kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy ,ect) is changed into another energy (chemical, kinetic, sound, ect)
When one form of energy (kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy ,ect) is changed into another energy (chemical, kinetic, sound, ect)
Chemical potential energy of the body is converted to kinetic energy.
No. Most chemical energy is potential (stored) energy. Energy that is released by chemical reactions is a form of kinetic energy.
Chemical energy is a form or potential energy or stored energy, although this can change to kinetic energy (moving energy).
A dam holding water is potential energy. Kinetic energy requires motion. The general formula for kinetic energy is: Ekinetic = ½m·v² If there is no movement, velocity (v) is 0.
Energy is "Neither created nor it can be destroyed"BUTIt's Form can be change From Potential energy to kinetic energy Kinetic Energy to Electrical Energy chemical Energy to elctrical or Mechanical Energy
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.
