hi, i'm just wondering how the radiant energy from the sun is captured ans stored in the C-H bond...

you need energy to break down any bond and you get engery when bonds are formed.

then how can the energy from the sun is stored in c-H bond?

Don't try to over-simplify. Think of ATP... breaking ATP to ADP releases energy, because the phosphate groups are high energy bonds (lots of negatives don't like to be together).

Energy is in everything, every bond, every atom, every thing. Think of it as transfer more than storage.
