Understand that chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules.
Recognize that energy due to an object's motion is kinetic energy, not chemical energy.
Identify that energy released as electromagnetic radiation refers to light or other forms of radiant energy, which is different from chemical energy.
Know that energy associated with the position of an object in a gravitational field is gravitational potential energy, not chemical energy.
Conclude that the best description of chemical energy is 'Energy stored within the bonds of atoms and molecules' because it directly relates to the energy contained in chemical bonds.
