What are three ways molecules move through a semipermeable membrane?
Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport
What are two ways in which valence electron move between atoms?
They are either transferred or shared. In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred, and shared in covalent bonds.
How do you break compounds into ions?
only compounds with the (aq) state symbol
Describe two ways that radioactive isotopes are used in biomedical research?
radioactive elements, tracers, are used in molecular research to investigate the movement of atoms and molecules through a biological system. At various intervals the movement of the radioactive atoms can be traced using photographic film.
What are two ways through valence electrons move between atoms?
They are either shared (covalent bond) or one donates and the other takes the elctrons (ionic bond).
The movement of atoms molecules waves and electrons?
Atoms, molecules, waves and electrons move in a variety of ways, but in general, their movements are perceived on the larger, human scale as heat. In hotter objects, everything is moving faster on the microscopic scale.
A group of atoms within a molecule that interacts in predictable ways with other molecules is called a?
A functional group is a group of atoms within a molecule that interacts with other molecules
Are water molecules made up individual water molecules?
no. atoms are the basic blocks. atoms fit together in certain ways to create molecules. Water is made up of two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule.
What are the three ways that atoms can bond with each other describe how each of these happen?
Ionic bond where electrons are transferred to form ions that attract by electrostatic charge Covalent bond where electrons are shared by both atoms Metallic bond where electrons are free to move around a lattice of metal atoms
In what ways do molecules move?
it moves by diffusion, osmosis and active transport
What are the two basic ways in which ions form from atoms?
Ions and Ionic bonds When these two types of atoms combine,electrons are transferred from one type of atom to the other. The transfer make both types of atoms more stable
How can you predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule?
You can predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule because molecules always arrange their atoms in the same proportions because atoms bond together in predictable ways. :)
Where is the rear right brake light fuse on a peugeot 106 series 2?
what are the two basic ways in which ions form from atoms?
Why is it possible to form molecules made of thousands of carbon atoms?
Because carbon can bind to itself (in multiple ways).
Does whether or not charges will move in a material depend partly on how tightly they are held in the atoms of the material?
It depends on whether the charges are free to move. There are two ways in which charge can move through a substance. Ionic substances are made of positive and negative ions. In a solid they have fixed positions, but in liquids and gases they can move around. Ions are atoms (or groups of atoms) which have gained or lost electrons. How tightly their electrons are held has no effect here as it's the whole ion which moves. The second situation where charges can move is when electrons are in delocalized bonds. In most substances the electrons are in orbitals associated with one atom or a small group of atoms. In metals, some electrons are in large orbitals which are shared by all the atoms, so the electrons (which are charged) can move freely through the whole metal. In this situation, the delocalized electrons can be thought of as not held by individual atoms, but they are still held by the assemblage of atoms. So the assertion in the question has elements of being right, but it's not the degree to which the electrons are held, but whether or not they are delocalized.

How and why do atoms combine?
There are several ways that atoms can combine. In one way, atoms are put together to form things called molecules. To understand molecules, you have to understand what an atom is made up of. Inside the atom, there's things called neutrons, protons, and electrons. The neutrons and protons are all stuck together in the middle of the atom, making up what's called the nucleus. The electrons are much lighter than the protons or neutrons, and they move all around the nucleus.
