Obviously, the energy in living systems is stored in the bonds between phosphates of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). This energy is called bond energy. The high energy bonds are represented in squiggle symbol (~). The molecules of ATP is represented as A-P~P~P. So, the last two bonds in ATP are energy rich bonds.
I hope you know that ATP is converted to ADP+Pi and ADP+Pi to ATP.
(Pi= inorganic phosphate)
When one molecule of ATP is broken, it releases 7200 cal. of energy.

What happens to energy when a chemical bond is broken or forms?
When a chemical bond forms, energy is absorbed between the atoms that bond. When a chemical bond is broken, energy is immediately and dramatically released.
What happens to energy when a chemical bond forms and what happens to energy when a chemical bond is broken?
During formation of bond,the atoms come close,then their are two possibilities 1. The force of attraction between electron of one atom and the nucleus of the other atom and the electron of the other atom attracts the nucleus of the another atom.This attractive forces lowers the potential energy of the two atoms and their are chances of bond formation. 2.There are also repulsive forces between nucleus-nucleus and electron-electron,which increases the potential energy. But as the attractive forces are dominant over the repulsive forces,therefore atoms come close and lower the energy of atoms forming bond.... During the formation of bond the potential energy of the atoms decreased.
What reaction occurs when chemical bonds between atoms are broken?
Energy is absorbed, hence it is an endothermic process. The two atoms shared energy. Breaking them apart means they need energy replaced, which is taken from atmospheric heat.
What can scientists measure to provide evidence that electrons can move from one energy level to another?
the energy absorbed or released by atoms
When atoms combine with or break apart from other atoms a what occurs?
When new bonds are formed between atoms, energy is released and this process is known as exothermic process. Similarly when old bonds break, energy from the surrounding is absorbed and is known as endothermic process.
How Is energy stored in chemical bonds?
Energy is stored in the potential energy of the electrons that make up that bond. This energy is released once the bond is broken.
What energy is released between atoms?
nuclear
What is energy released during nuclear fusion?
The binding energy between atoms is released.
Is the energy stored in the bonds between atoms potential or kinetic energy?
It is potential energy. It becomes kinetic when a bond is broken.
When bonds are broken what type of energy is released?
There is a repulsion force between electrons of two atoms and nucleus of same atoms. But if attractive force between nucleus of one atom and electrons of other atom must be more than repulsion force to make a bond. The excess repulsion force is released as energy during bond formation.
Where do atoms get their 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).

What must be added in order for the bonds between atoms to be broken?
Energy in various way: for example heat.
What are the chemical changes of electriciy?
CHEMICAL Chemical energy is stored in the bonds between atoms. This stored energy is released and absorbed when bonds are broken and new bonds are formed - chemical reactions. Chemical reactions change the way atoms are arranged. These reactions both absorb and release energy, but the net reaction releases energy.
How is chemical energy stored and released?
Chemical energy is held in the bonds between the atoms of molecules and is released when these bonds are broken, as in burning. Such a reaction usually starts by applying heat to activate the burning process. As the chemical burns, bonds break, and energy escapes as heat and light.
When the bonds between the atoms of a molecule break what form of energy is released?
nuclear
