Question

The energy stored in molecular bonds is called _____.

A.heat
B.atomic energy
C.chemical energy
D.mechanical energy

Answer 1

The energy stored in molecular bond is called..
C. chemical energy

Answer 2

The energy stored in molecular bonds is called C. Chemical energy.

C. chemical energy:

The energy released by chemical reactions is known as chemical potential energy or bond energy. These particles are held together by their energy.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

A. heat:

Heat is an energy form, but it is energy in motion. A system's heat isn't a property. So this is the wrong answer.

B. atomic energy:

Atomic energy is the force that holds an atom's sub-particles together. Neutrons, protons, and electrons are the three sub-particles that make up an atom. So this is the wrong answer.

D. mechanical energy:

Mechanical energy is the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy when it is used to perform a specific task. So this is the wrong answer.

As a result, chemical energy refers to the energy stored in molecular bonds.
