If my memory serves me well, the correct answer is: Chemical processes store and release <span>C: energy</span><span> in the bonds of molecules.

The property best used when determining the strength of an ionic bond in a solid is:
LATTICE ENERGY
The lattice energy is the energy released during the deposition of gaseous ions of opposite charges. Deposition is the transformation of gas to solid.
Explanation:
The main types of solids are ionic, molecular, covalent, and hard. Ionic solids consist of absolutely and negatively energized ions held concurrently by electrostatic forces; the power of the bonding is indicated in the lattice energy. Ionic solids manage to have high melting points and are fairly hard. lattie energy is a stratagem of the energy received in the crystal lattice of a compound, similar to the energy that would be delivered if the element ions were produced together from infinity.
H2se is a ionic bond which requires higher energy to change into a gas, while h2s is a covalent bond requiring less energy
