What is the difference between a nonpolar bond and nonpolar molecule?
One term refers only to the bond, another refers to the molecule.
Ordinary table salt is composed of molecules?
Chemists use the term salt to broadly refer to any ionic compound, but what most people call salt is table salt, also known as sodium chloride (NaCl). Table salt consists of molecules, each of which has one sodium atom and one chlorine atom. Sodium without chlorine, or chlorine without sodium, bears no resemblance to salt. Only when the two are combined, do you have salt. That is why salt is composed of molecules.
Is gluep a solid or a liquid?
Glue in fact is a solid, liquid, and gas. It is liquid when it is in the bottle, It releases gas when it is curing, and when it is cured it is a solid. This is true for most glues, others are different.
What is the term for a gas turning into a liquid?
The term that refers to the process of a gas turning into a liquid is condensation.Change of a state
Classification of lipids?
There are several classification that pertain to lipids. Some of these are simple lipids, compound lipids and derived lipids. Lipids are sterols, fats, waxes and fat-soluble vitamins.
Process in which vapour molecules are recaptured by molecules at liquid surface?
I suppose that dynamic equilibrium is the adequqte term.
What does the science term called like dissolves like mean?
"Like Dissolves Like" is a concept in chemistry discribing hydrophobic (nonpolar) and hydrophilic (polar) interactions. Polar molecules, in order to reduce unfavorable interactions that require free energy to compensate for, tend to associate with other polar molecules. Non-polar molecules, likewise, associate with other nonpolar molecules. The terms hydrophobic and hydrophilic are used to describe a molecules tendency to associate with water. Polar molecules, using the "like dissolves like" concept associate with water, while nonpolar molecules tend to reduce interactions with water.
What is the difference between a nonpolar bond and nonpolar molecule?
One term refers only to the bond, another refers to the molecule.
Are non-polar molecules hydrophilic?
No, non-polar molecules are hydrophobic because they cannot form hydrogen bonds. A good example of this would be a cell membrane. The fatty acids in the lipid bilayer are non-polar and hydrophobic, while the polar ends that face the outside and inside of the cell are hydrophilic.
What is the term for the movement of molecules within a liquid?
All molecules are in constant motion. Molecules of a liquid have more freedom of movement than those in a solid. Molecules in a gas have the greatest degree of motion. Heat, temperature and the motion of molecules are all related. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a material. Heat is the energy transferred between materials that have different temperatures. Increasing the temperature increases the translational motion of molecules Energy is related to temperature by the relationship: E= kT
What does geosphere mean in science term?
The term geosphere is often used to refer to the densest parts of Earth, which consist mostly of rock
What is the term for the cohesion of water molecules?
The term for the cohesion of water molecules is surface tension.
What is vaporization throughout a liquid?
You may be referring to boiling. First a little background.Vaporization is a phase change from the liquid state to the gaseous (or vapor) state. When a liquid vaporizes or evaporates, the more energetic molecules in the liquid leave the surface and enter the vapor phase in the air above the liquid. Because its the more energetic molecules that leave the liquid, and the kinetic energy of a molecules is related to the temperature, vaporization is a cooling process. Another term for this is endothermic, meaning it takes in heat.When a liquid is below its boiling point, not all molecules uniformly have enough energy to enter the vapor state. Some molecules have more energy and go into the vapor, others don't and stay behind in the liquid state. As an average, the liquid exhibits a vapor pressure less than that of the atmosphere. The vapor pressure of a liquid is a function of its temperature.When a liquid reaches its boiling temperature, however, that means the liquid's vapor pressure (as a whole) equals that of the atmosphere. So instead of evaporation just from the surface, now you see bubble of water vapor forming throughout the liquid and rising to the surface.
Liquid of life term is for what?
" Liquid of life " is a term made for water.
What is another term for glucose molecules?
Monosaccharide is another term that is used to describe the glucose molecules.
What is the term for mixing gases or liquid molecules by random molecular motion?
Gases and liquids are called fluids.Due to the kinetic energy of the atoms/molecules of the fluids they vibrate hence result in a contant mixing or motion of the molecules. Experiments which prove the motion-Brownian motion,Smoke cell
What does the combination of two or more atoms form?
Atoms combine to make molecules. Molecules are compound structures, and the chemistry term compounds applies to substances made up of molecules composed of two or more different kinds of atoms.A compound
