Important notes about chemical energy (for a quick
reference):
1) All bond making chemical reactions are exothermic (release energy). I.e. overlapping between atoms (atomic shells) cause exothermic reactions.
2) All bond braking chemical reaction are endothermic (absorb energy). I.e. detaching between atoms cause endothermic reactions.
Abstract
Where
is the energy come from in an exothermic chemical reaction and why endothermic
chemical reactions absorb energy to proceed? The exact answers of these
questions are still unexplained with the help of the standard model of atom. There
are two other interesting phenomenons in the chemical reactions are slight mass
gain in endothermic reactions and slight mass loss in exothermic chemical
reactions, even though it is only measurable if the reactants are much in
quantity. My investigations indicate that atomic shells are not empty, but
filled with space matter. The density of
space matter in the inner region of the atom is greater and it decreases as the
distance increases from the nucleus (see Structure
of an atom). A free atom (without any binding) of an element has its own
'natural volume' in constant
temperature and pressure. But, when atoms react with other atoms (bonding-
metallic or ionic or covalent bonding), the individual volume of atoms decrease
because of the overlapping of its outer regions. That is, the volume of any
molecule is less than the sum of the separate volumes of its containing atoms.
Also interestingly, the releasing of energy in a chemical reaction is directly
proportional to 'how much the atoms are overlapping each other'. I.e.
if the overlapping is more then the energy release will be more and if the
overlapping is less then the releasing of energy will be also less.

We can find some important facts from the above illustration
a) In the bond making process, there is a decreasing of volume of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms from their natural volumes along with the slight decreasing of mass from their natural masses. And another important fact is that, the space matter densities of the atomic shells that participated in the reactions are remain unchanged in the reaction.
b) In
the bond braking process, the volume of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms regains
their natural volumes along with the regaining of their natural masses. And here
also, the densities of the atomic shells are remaining unchanged.
Releasing
of energy in the bond making reaction
When
two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom are bonded together to form a water
molecule, their net volume decreases (because of the overlapping between their
atomic shells) without changing (without increasing) the space matter densities
in the shells. Then what will be happened? The only option is to release the
overlapped volume of space matter that in the shells to the outer world. Then
what will be happened when the compressed space matter in the shells released to
the outer world? It is very clear that, it will explode. This explosion
causes the surrounding atoms/molecules oscillate violently and when this
oscillations is transferred to the surrounding atoms/molecules cause the
generation of thermal energy. We can calculate the releasing of energy in a
chemical reaction with more precisely than the current methods, if we know the
expansion ratio (i.e. the density of matter in the empty space) from the density
of space matter in the atomic shells (that participated in the reaction).
Calculation
of releasing of energy in a exothermic reaction
Absorption of energy in
the fission process
When one water molecule splits into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, the three atoms regain their natural volumes because of the withdrawal of their overlapping, but without changing (without decreasing) densities of the atomic shells. How this will be happened? The only option is to compress the extremely low-density space matter that present in the outer world, and to make the atomic shells. But, for such a compression process of space matter, requires the same amount of energy that released in the fusion of hydrogen and oxygen atoms to form the water molecule i.e. the binding energy of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a water molecule.
