Explain how wood produces chemical energy
andrezito [222]

Wood, when dry, stores chemical energy. This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is converted into heat, or thermal energy. This also produces light energy. As a result of burning, the wood turns into an entirely new substance - ashes. Wood, a form of fuel with lots of potential energy stored in its covalent bonds, will react with molecules of oxygen in the air in a dramatic chemical reaction we call fire. The complex molecules in the wood have 'high energy' covalent bonds, as do the molecules of oxygen.
