Why is the barrier of the energy of activation beneficial for organic molecules?
Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of organic molecules. The barrier of EA prevents these molecules from spontaneously breaking down and releasing that energy.
What energy prevents molecules from breaking down spontaneously?
it's not a type of energy but it's an energy barrier that prevents molecules from breaking down spontaneously
Why do things spontaneously combust?
A substance that can spontaneously combust at room temperature has the sufficient energy required to overcome the activation energy of the reaction. Therefore the reaction continues until completion.
What did Becquerel hypothesize?
that uranium can spontaneously give off energy
What did Marie curie call the energy that is spontaneously released by uranium?
Marie Curie referred to the energy spontaneously released by uranium as "radioactivity."
What type of chemical reaction occurs spontaneously?
An energy-absorbing reaction occurs spontaneously, as opposed to an energy-releasing reaction, which starts off slowly.
What makes proteins the ideal of compounds to act as enzymes?
An energy-releasing reaction is more likely to start spontaneously. You have to have enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier (that is to start breaking some bonds). - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-makes-proteins-the-ideal-types-of-compounds-to-act-as-enzymes#sthash.WWgf8a0I.dpuf

Which form of energy moves spontaneously from hot objects to cold objects?
Thermal energy moves spontaneously from hot to cold objects.
Does energy change spontaneously from disorder to order?
no
Do the colors of flame tests result from taking in energy or releasing energy?
Both. Electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy state, which is unstable, and they fall back down to their ground state immediately, releasing energy as they do.
When a material ejects particles or energy spontaneously it is?
radioactive :)

Chemical reactions that energy often occur spontaneously?
endothermic: or energy absorbing reactions
What did Becquerel hypothesize?
that uranium can spontaneously give off energy
Is Releasing Energy is called perspiration?
No
