Hi!


The correct answer would be chemical energy.


Energy is classified into two basic categories:

Kinetic Energy

Potential Energy


Kinetic energy is possessed by objects or particles in motion, like waves or molecules as a system. Kinetic energy further includes sound energy (along with others not in listed in the question)

Potential energy is the energy that is reserved/stored or possessed by an object in a particular position. Potential energy further includes gravitational and chemical energy (along with others not in the question)


The energy between bonds is a form of potential energy, as energy is stored in the bonds. The energy stored in the bond is associated with the position of the atoms in relation to one another and the structure of the molecule.


Hope this helps!
