Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds that is available for release through chemical reactions. It is found in fuels and foods and provides the energy for important processes like burning matches or powering our bodies. Chemical energy in matches is transformed to thermal energy when struck, while fuels and foods provide stored chemical energy for various uses.
