is the potential energy stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules. This energy is released when a chemical reaction takes place, either through the breaking of bonds (endothermic reaction) or the formation of new bonds (exothermic reaction). Chemical energy is a form of potential energy that can be converted into other forms of energy, such as heat, light, or mechanical energy. It is one of the most common forms of energy used in everyday life, powering everything from cars and airplanes to the human body itself.
