Question

which type of energy is released when a bond between atoms is broken?
a. chemical energy
b. kinetic energy
c. nuclear energy
d. elastic energy

Explanation:

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds between atoms. When these bonds are broken, the stored chemical energy is released. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Nuclear energy is related to the nucleus of an atom. Elastic energy is related to the deformation of an elastic object. Since the question is about energy in atom - to - atom bonds, chemical energy is the relevant type.

Answer:

A. Chemical energy
