What type of energy do chemical bonds have? What type of energy is it converted to during chemical reactions? A. chemical bonds
have kinetic energy, which is converted to potential energy during chemical reactions. B. chemical bonds have electric energy, which is converted to potential energy during chemical reactions C. chemical bonds have electric energy, which is converted to kinetic energy during chemical reactions D. chemical bonds have potential energy, which is converted to heat energy during chemical reactions
The type of energy do chemical bonds have, and the type of energy is it converted to during chemical reactions are that chemical bonds have potential energy, which is converted to heat energy during chemical reactions.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The chemical molecules which are bonded by atoms to form such molecule in its stable form consists of chemical potential energy. The potential energy is form of energy which is possessed by the bond, atom or molecule in its non excited or stable state.
As the chemical bonds are stable in nature, they consist of Chemical potential energy. The potential energy of bond converts into heat energy as the bond on breakage either takes up energy to break the bond or releases the heat to break the bond, during the chemical reactions occurring.
