Yes, molecules have potential energy stored in their chemical bonds.


Is it possible for the number of molecules to change as a result of a chemical reaction?

That happens all the time. Smaller molecules combine to form larger molecules; larger molecules break up into smaller molecules.


What happens to the number of molecules of the gas when it is compressed?

When a gas is compressed, the volume it occupies decreases, causing the gas molecules to be closer together. The number of molecules remains the same, as no molecules are added or removed during compression.

What is chemical enery?

Chemical energy is potential energy until the chemical reaction puts atoms and molecules in motion. Heat energy (KE) is often the result of a chemical reaction.


What happens to sodium iodide when exposed to light?

When sodium iodide is exposed to light, it may undergo a photochemical reaction where it can decompose or form other products. This is because the light energy can excite the molecules in sodium iodide, leading to potential photoreactions.


Is chemical energy potential energy?

Yes and no. Yes before the reaction, No after the reaction.There is potential chemical energy among constituent substances in an exothermic reaction - such as in Hydrogen and Oxygen. When the chemicals combine, the reaction liberates thermal energy that was stored as potential chemical energy before the reaction.During the chemical reaction, the potential energy is converted into thermal (and perhaps other forms, such as light) energy.After the chemical reaction, the thermal energy is disspiated, and the potential energy is gone.
