Covalent [the sharing of a pair of electrons] bond energy.
The energy needed to break a bond between two atoms is the called the bond energy. The SI units for bond energy are kJ/mol.
That is an extremely odd way of phrasing it.The energy between two bonded atoms is the bond energy, but it's not the amount of energy required to "keep them held together", it's the energy required to pull them APART.If the atoms aren't bonded, then the force required to keep them together is a function of the distance between them (and the types of atoms they are). The usual approximation is the Lennard-Jones potential, which at the "holding them together" distance is usually described by a twelfth-degree polynomial, but I should stress again that this is an approximation.
bond energy
That energy is trapped in the bond. The bond energy is called bond enthalpy and is available in tables on the internet. Energy is required to break a bond but released when bonds form. If the sum of the reactant bond energy is less than the sum of the product bond energy then energy will be released in the chemical reaction.

The energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms is called bond energy.

bond energy
Have you heard of the term "bond energy"? The bonds between atoms of the same element, and atoms of different elements all contain a certain amount of energy. When a bond is broken, energy is released. When a bond is formed, energy is required. For example, two Carbon atoms bonding (they can have a C-C single bond, a C=C double bond, or a triple bond).
Chemical bonds store energy. This is called chemical energy. The chemical energy found inside the bond holds the atoms together.
The amount of energy required to break a bond and produce neutral atoms is called the bond energy. It harbors the energy.
That energy is trapped in the bond. The bond energy is called bond enthalpy and is available in tables on the internet. Energy is required to break a bond but released when bonds form. If the sum of the reactant bond energy is less than the sum of the product bond energy then energy will be released in the chemical reaction.
Energy is released.
chemical energy
Bond forming releases energy. Atoms will begin with a high potential energy, and will bond with other atoms to form compounds which have a lower potential energy, and are therefore more stable. Bond breaking takes in energy i.e. energy is required to break bonds.
