Here's why:
* Chemical Change: A chemical change involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, resulting in the creation of new substances.
* Energy Release: When chemical bonds are broken, energy is released. This energy can be in various forms, such as heat, light, or electricity.
* Fuel: A fuel is a substance that undergoes a chemical change (like combustion) to release energy.
Examples of fuels include:
* Wood
* Natural gas
* Gasoline
* Propane
* Food (our bodies use food as fuel through metabolism)
