It depends. If they are charged, they may be attracted to molecules of opposite charge. However, more frequently, high concentrations of molecules prefer to go to spaces with a smaller concentration of their same type.

State one reason why some molecules can pass through a certain membranebut other molecules can not?
Molecules pass through pores in membranes. If a molecule is larger than the pores or it sticks to other molecules of its kind to form a thick goo, it won't go through.
What bond bonds water molecules with other water molecules?
hydrogen bond bonds water molecules with other water molecules.
Why do passenger molecules need to be helped by the carrier protein?
Some molecules can't go through the cell membrane.
How fast is air molecules if temperature of the gas is 0 Celsius degrees?
The air molecules would go very slow because the air molecules are tight close together.
How are the molecules in polymers different from the molecules in other compounds?
A polymer is a long chain of small molecules (monomers).

Is a molecule equivalent to a molecule?
Molecules are not always equivalent to molecules, as some molecules have more atoms than other molecules, and other molecules have different kinds of atoms than other molecules.
What bond bonds water molecules with other water molecules?
hydrogen bond bonds water molecules with other water molecules.
When water molecules stick to the molecules of other substance the molecules are displaying?
Adhesion is the ability of water molecules to stick to other molecules. Cohesion is the ability of water molecules sticking to one another.
Are non-polar molecules more attracted to other non-polar molecules or polar molecules?
Non-polar molecules are more attracted to other non-polar molecules.
Why does sound need a medium to transfer vibrations?
Sound means that some molecules transfer their vibrations to other molecules. So, because of this, obviously you need molecules to transfer sound.Sound means that some molecules transfer their vibrations to other molecules.

Some molecules can't go through the cell membrane.
Why a gas would have higher entropy than a liquid?
Gas molecules have fewer constraints on their location, than liquid molecules. Molecules in a liquid have to remain in contact with the other molecules of the liquid, and are limited to a specific volume. Gas molecules can go anywhere, they are not connected to anything. So with more possible locations, gas molecules represent a state of higher entropy or disorder.
Why do oil and water hate each other?
Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.
How fast is air molecules if temperature of the gas is 0 Celsius degrees?
The air molecules would go very slow because the air molecules are tight close together.
Molecules tend to move into area where there are more molecules?
That takes energy. Normal diffusion means that the molecules move away from each other (in other words ... to where there are less molecules).
How are the molecules in polymers different from the molecules of other compounds?
A polymer is a long chain of small molecules (monomers).
