Chemical energy is the potential energy stored within the chemical bonds between atoms in molecules. When chemical reactions occur, these bonds are broken and new bonds are formed, releasing or absorbing energy. Nuclear energy is stored within the nucleus of an atom, in the forces holding protons and neutrons together. Potential energy is stored energy based on position or state (e.g., gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy). Thermal energy is energy associated with the temperature of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules.
Which one of the following energy is stored in the links between the atoms ?

- Combination Reaction Two or more reactants (Mg and O₂) combine to form a single product (MgO). This fits the definition of a combination reaction. 2. Oxidation Reaction Magnesium (Mg) reacts with Oxygen (O₂). In this reaction, Mg loses electrons (its oxidation state changes from 0 to +2) and is oxidized. The reaction with oxygen is a classic example involving oxidation. 3. Exothermic Reaction The term "+ energy" on the product side indicates that energy is released during the reaction. Reactions that release energy are classified as exothermic reactions.Since the reaction fits the description of a Combination reaction, an Oxidation reaction, and an Exothermic reaction, all the individual classifications listed are correct. 189.
