Lots of chemicals store chemical energy. I don't believe that any single chemical is outstanding, not in the sense of storing several times the energy of the "next-best energy saver".
Living beings use ATP for short-term energy storage, glucose for long-term energy storage.

What covalent bond stores an unusually large amount of energy?
high-energy bonds
Contrast Chemical energy and mechanical energy?
chemical energy is when the energy that is released when a chemical compound reacts to produce new compounds. A mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of large-scale objects in a system.
What is the difference between chemical energy and thermal energy?
Chemical energy is essentially potential energy, and does not require insulation to keep it from depleting to the Universe at large. Thermal energy is largely "lost" energy, somewhat between kinetic energy (some work might be able to be recovered) and entropy.
How is energy from chemical energy released and transferred into thermal energy?
Chemical compounds, like oil or coal, hold potential chemical energy in the powerful molecular bonds with the compound. If such a chemical compound undergoes a chemical reaction (in this case in an internal combustion engine), the potential chemical energy will be released in the form of thermal energy. Of course, no energy transformation is 100% efficient as some of the potential chemical energy is either not converted at all or converted into a different form of energy. Take the example of a fire in one's fire place. Although a large percentage of the potential chemical energy in the wood is converted into thermal energy that we can feel as heat, some of the energy is converted into light, that we can see as the brightness of the fire, and some is converted into sounds, as we can hear in the roaring of the fire.
Why is a large amount of energy needed to convert solid diamond into a gas?
because its to fat
What covalent bond stores an unusually large amount of energy?
high-energy bonds
Chemical bonds have a large amount of that is released when the bond is broken?
energy
What stores and releases large amount of energy?
long story short the answer is mitochondria
Why do chemical reactions with hydrocarbons release a large amount of energy?
It is not obligatory; you think probable to combustion.
What is the function of the mitochondira and nickname?
Its nick name is the power house an it makes A large amount og chemical energy
When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
What does it mean if the activation energy is high related to traveling?
If the activation energy elated to travelling is high, then a large amount of energy is required to start a chemical reaction. After the reaction is initiated, less energy is needed.
What would happen if water absorbs a large amount of energy?
If water absorbs a large amount of energy it boils.
ATP contains a large amount of energy because?
ATP contains a large amount of energy because it has high-energy phosphate bonds.
Tsunamis have a large amount of energy because of their large?
amplitude :)
