Chemical Energy
Chemical energy explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're trying to open a tightly sealed jar of pickles. The struggle to twist and pop the lid is similar to the energy stored within chemical bonds that are waiting to be released. Just as opening the jar releases the pickles inside, breaking chemical bonds during a reaction releases stored energy, allowing it to do work, like lighting a candle or powering your muscles.
Practice Version
Chemical Energy: The energy stored in chemical bonds, it is released by chemical reactions. Chemical energy is the power that fuels reactions, driving everything from engines to living cells.
