Hi! Thank you for the question. We are authorized to answer one question at a time, since you have not mentioned which part you are looking for, so we are answering the first question, please repost your question separately for the remaining subpart

 

ATP is highly unstable compound which spontaneously dissociates into its products (ADP+Pi ) and releases high energy which is fetched by other nonspontaneous reactions. ATP has two ‘high-energy’ phophoanhydride bonds which are highly unstable and have high stored bond energy, whereas, phosphoester bond is stable and requires high energy to dissociate the bond.
