Chemical Energy Gabriel, Evan, Yousif S.

Definition Chemical energy is stored energy [potential] in the bonds of atoms and molecules.

Characteristics: what chemical energy does Fuels our movement Work or change

Characteristics: how chemical energy transfers Chemical energy transfers to kinetic energy

Characteristics: Bonds Chemical energy is released when the bonds of molecules are formed or broken

Usefulness: Fossil Fuels Oil Natural gas Coal petroleum Are fossilized remains of plants and animals in a form we use Fossil means stored Fuels means burned +

Usefulness: Electricity Chemical Energy makes electricity through these fuels: Oil Natural gas Coal Biomass Nuclear Batteries nuclear Usefulness: Electricity

Usefulness: Batteries The first battery was made in 1799 Batteries come in all shapes and sizes Batteries store chemical energy Some batteries are rechargeable for example a electrical car click on video

Usefulness: natural resources Wood Gasoline Coal Natural gas Oil These have chemical energy which can be burned to create electricity

usefulness: food Pizza Spaghetti Ice cream shish kabobs Soup Brownies Pizza Spaghetti Ice cream shish kabobs Soup Brownies Etc. Stomach acid burns [breaks down] food in your stomach

Usefulness: Biomass Renewable energy powered by natural resources from plants or animals Used for fuel Cow manure Soy beans Natural gas Methane gas Ethanol Biodiesel These contain chemical energy which can make electricity Algae Carbon–neutral Burns cleaner

conclusion Chemical energy is made and made into a lot of things such as: biomass, food, natural resources, batteries, electricity, fossil fuels, and bonds.
