Chem Potential of Reacting Hydrogen Atoms20415325525525525510361042Potential Energy in Covalent Bond Formation: Reacting Many Hydrogen Atoms
Here you can see a bunch of separate hydrogen atoms. When you press the run button you can see how reacting them, forming covalent bonds to make hydrogen molecules convertes the chemical potential energy to kinetic (or heat energy).
