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

The vibration of the atoms in molecules is one place where potential energy is stored.
The vibration of the atoms in molecules is one place where potential energy is stored.

The rotation of the particles is one place where potential energy is stored.

Answer 1

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

Explanation: Chemical potential energy is stored in the bonds between atoms. Particle speed and rotation are forms of kinetic energy; molecular vibrations have both kinetic and potential components, but chemical bond energy is the primary form of stored potential energy in a liquid.
