Molecules like aliphatic carbon chains and minerals are found on meteorites but these are not unexpected. The truly interesting molecules that are found on meteorites include amino acids and nucleotide analogs, which are organic molecules that are essential to life as we know it.

What kinds of molecules do water dissolve?

It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.


Which type of mixture is formed when one substance dissolves into another and fills the spaces between other kinds of molecules?

A homogeneous mixture is formed when one substance dissolves into another and fills the spaces between other kinds of molecules. This type of mixture has a uniform composition throughout, with the dissolved particles evenly distributed in the solvent.


What type of bond is formed between sugar molecules?

The kinds of bonds that join molecules with other molecules are called intermolecular bonds. These can be covalent bonds or ionic bonds. These bonds can usually be broken by an increase in thermal energy (temperature), and form when there is a lack of thermal energy.


What mixture is formed when one kind of molecule fills the spaces between other kinds of molecules is called a?

The mixture formed in this scenario is called a solution. Solutions consist of a solute (the substance being dissolved) and a solvent (the substance in which the solute is dissolved). The solute molecules are distributed evenly throughout the solvent.


What catalyst do we have in our body?

Enzymes are the catalysts found in our body that help speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required. These biological molecules are crucial for various metabolic processes in our cells.

What kinds of extraterrestrial meteors?

All meteors are extraterrestrial. As to composition, there are three general types: irons, stony-irons and stonies, the names indicating the relative proportions of metal and mineral. Stony meteorites are the most common, but iron meteorites are the most commonly collected, because they appear distinctive against the usual backgrounds. Stonies tend to be overlooked as just, well, stones. Although we're really talking about the same things - chucks of material from outer space - separate observations have led to three terms for these objects. A "meteor" is the flash of light in the sky caused by the object burning in the friction of the atmosphere. The chunk of material we find on the ground (and display in museums) is a "meteorite"; ("-ite" is the suffix for "rock") and the things that are still in space are "meteoroids."
