Molecules react depending on their chemical properties.
The negative and positive parts of atoms are attracted to each other.
For example When water molecules get close to each other, they start to "stick" together due to the partial negative charge of the oxygen atom and the partial positive charge of the hydrogen atoms.

If the temperatures get high enough, the vibrational energy can get high enough to start breaking molecular bonds - kind of like stretching a rubber band until it finally snaps. Higher temperatures can also affect the preferred arrrangements of molecules so that some substances will undergo phase changes - solids may shift from α to ß solid structure or melt, liquids may evaporate, etc. Long chain molecules may curl up or straighten out - depending on the functional groups along the chain. Intermolecular bonds may be broken leading hydrates to dehydrate and proteins to denature.

Why atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen does not react with each other?
because the molecules of oxygen only react at high temperatures
Before two molecules can react chemists envision that the molecules must first collide with one another Is collision among molecules the only consideration for the molecules to react with each other?
Molecules must consider temperature and concentration when considering to react with one another.
Can the atoms and molecules in matter move faster at higher temperature?
yes atoms and molecules do move faster at higher temperatures, at higher temperatures the atoma and molecules absorb more kinetic energy
Will liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen react when blended?
No. Hydrogen and oxygen will only react at high temperatures.
Under what circumstances do the colliding molecules not react?
the molecules are not in position to form bonds
Why atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen does not react with each other?
because the molecules of oxygen only react at high temperatures
Would metals react quicker with hot or cold water?
Hot water. Metals become more malleable at greater temperatures.
Why did the solid react in one way in hot water and differently in the cold water?
because hot water has more molecules
Why isn't the thermosphere a hot place even though it has very high temperatures?
Because of the air molecules , when they touch you .
Why can molecules survive in these clouds and not in other parts of interstellar space?
It isn't clear what you mean by "these clouds"; but in general, you would expect molecules to "survive" when the temperatures are not too hot.
Can F2 readily react with Au?
No, not readily, but it will react at high temperatures
What are the molecules that react with one another called?
Molecules that react with one another are called reactants.
Before two molecules can react chemists envision that the molecules must first collide with one another Is collision among molecules the only consideration for the molecules to react with each other?
Molecules must consider temperature and concentration when considering to react with one another.
How do the terms rigidityinterfaceand compressibilty explain solidsliquid gasses?
they describe the they way the matters can move and react to other things. Some become rigid in hot temperatures.
Why does zinc react with steam and cold water?
Zinc does react with cold water - it just does so very slowly. Steam is water that is very hot and thus as with any chemical reaction, the heat gives the molecules more energy and so they react faster.
Why does zinc react with steam and not cold water?
Zinc does react with cold water - it just does so very slowly. Steam is water that is very hot and thus as with any chemical reaction, the heat gives the molecules more energy and so they react faster.
Can sulfur react in liquid phase?
An element may participate in chemical reactions in any phase. High temperatures generally have the effect of speeding up chemical reactions, so yes, hot liquid sulphur would readily react.
