Question

how do chemicals store potential energy? in the electrons of atoms in the bonds between atoms in the nuclei of atoms rewatch submit

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Chemical potential energy is stored in the bonds between atoms. When chemical bonds form or break, energy is either released or absorbed. Electrons' energy is more related to electrical potential or kinetic in some cases, and nuclear energy is from atomic nuclei (related to nuclear reactions, not typical chemical energy storage). So the correct option is the one about bonds between atoms.

Answer:

B. In the bonds between atoms (assuming the second option is labeled B; if no labels, then "The middle option: In the bonds between atoms")
