Question

question 6 points 1
what type of energy is stored in coal?
chemical energy
heat energy
mechanical energy
electrical energy

Explanation:

Coal is a fossil fuel. Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. When coal is burned, a chemical reaction occurs, and the stored chemical energy is released. Heat energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. Electrical energy is the energy derived from electric potential energy or kinetic energy of charged particles. Since coal stores energy in its chemical structure, it is chemical energy.

Answer:

Chemical energy
