Chemical energy is stored in atomic bonds between atoms that form molecules.

Chemical energy can also be stored in the lack of bonds between atoms. For example carbon and oxygen exist separately because the Sun's energy was used by plants to separate them out from carbon dioxide in the atmoshpere. Re-creating those bonds to form carbon dioxide in the burning process releases the heat that was previously stored.
