When you burn it, the chemical energy is converted to thermal energy.
Fossil fuels are formed from organic matter that originally obtained its energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This organic matter stored the sun's energy in the form of chemical bonds, which is released as chemical energy when the fossil fuels are burned. So, the chemical energy in fossil fuels can be traced back to the sun's energy.
If you mean the use of fossil fuels, yes. Typically, the fuels are burned (for example, in a car engine), converting the chemical energy into heat. Part of this is then converted into movement. A heat engine can only convert part of the heat energy into useful energy, so the remainder is wasted.
Yes, it is. Because coal and fuel(oil) are both fossil fuels and contain stored chemical energy that needs no further treatment to produce thermal energy as they burn. So fossil fuel is a form of chemical energy.
Yes, the type of energy stored by fossil fuels such as coal is chemical potential energy. This energy is released when the fossil fuel is burned and chemical reactions occur, resulting in the production of heat and other forms of energy such as electricity.
Fossil fuels like coal store potential energy in the form of chemical bonds. When they are burned, this potential energy is converted into heat energy (thermal energy) and released as a result of chemical reactions taking place. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and while there may be kinetic energy involved in the burning process (e.g., moving particles in the flame), the primary form of energy stored in fossil fuels is potential energy.
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.

Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
Nonrenewable fossil fuels, like oil and coal, store a lot chemical energy in the bonds between its molecules. When these fossil fuels are burned, the chemical energy is released.
