Bacon fat stores lots of potential energy, but is stable at room temperabure. How come bacen fat does not suddenly burst into flames while sitting on the counter or in your refrieerator?

The bonds in the fat molecules cannot be broken by chemical means.

Energy specifically the activation energy is required to break the bonds. There inrit enowth energy in your refrigerator to cause the bonds in the fata to break ind form new bonds with corgen in the air.

The breakdown of bacon fat is an endergonic precess, requirig an input of energy. O The activation energy of bacon fat is too low to cause bacen fat to burst into flames in the reflugerator.
