Chemical energy

  • Form of energy

Chemical energy is energy that is stored within the connections (the bonds) between tiny parts of a substance (molecules). Some common examples of chemical energy are contained in fuels such as coal, gasoline, natural gas and even sugar! When our bodies burn sugar during exercise, the sugar components are “reorganized” and release the energy that was in the chemical bonds of the original substance.
