The statement that accurately describes a type of potential energy found in a container full of a chemical substance in liquid form is:

**A. The bonds between atoms are one place where potential energy is stored.**

This is because potential energy in chemical substances is largely stored in the bonds between atoms. When chemical reactions occur, these bonds can break and form new ones, releasing or absorbing energy in the process. The other options focus on kinetic aspects (vibration, rotation, speed), which relate more to kinetic energy rather than potential energy.
