Chemical bonds store energy due to the interactions between atoms, particularly the attractions and repulsions involving electrons. When atoms bond, they reach a lower energy state, and the energy released during bond formation is stored as potential energy. Breaking these bonds requires an input of energy, which is why they can store significant amounts of energy. The energy stored in chemical bonds can be released during chemical reactions, powering biological processes or combustion.
