Best Answer
Burning releases heat by the formation of chemical bonds between the atoms that are burning. An example is hydrogen burning with oxygen, because when the atoms are bonded together as water they have less total energy than when the atoms are separated.
It takes energy to separate out hydrogen and oxygen from water (by electrolysis for example), and this is the energy that is released when the separate atoms are re-bonded in burning.
