That is true; the potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups.
There are two phosphate groups in one molecule of ADP.
phosphate groups
The major molecule involved in energy release and storage is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE. It contains a large ADENOSINE molecule connected to three PHOSPHATE groups via PHOSPHATE bond. When the bond that connects one of the three PHOSPHATE groups to the ADENOSINE molecule is broken down, energy is released. The resulting molecule would be ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE, one free PHOSPHATE group and energy.
The DNA backbone, are made of alternating sugars and phosphate groups.
The potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived from its three phosphate groups that are linked by phosphate bonds. The energy of ATP is locked within these bonds.
The energy of Atp molecules is not stored in any of its phosphate groups. Its energy is stored between and within the bonds of the phosphate groups of [Amp], Adp and Atp molecules.

two phosphate groups
3 phosphate groups
The energy that a cell can use to do work is the energy stored in the chemical bond between the second and third phosphate groups.
when a phosphate group is removed from ATP energy is released and the molecule ADP is formed.

ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. This means there are three phosphate groups stuck together on the tail of the molecule. Packing that many negatively charged groups together takes energy which is stored in the structure. When the bond between the second and third phosphates is broken, energy is released and the molecule becomes ADP or Adenosine Di-Phosphate.
A phosphate group is a part of a molecule (i.e. group) with the formula PO4. Depending on the molecule it is part of it can be either inorganic phosphate or organic phosphate. Phosphate groups are essential to many biochemical processes (e.g. ATP for energy storage, phosphorylation of DNA to inhibit/enable gene expression).
