the organic paricles are molecules. Because of strong covalent bonding within the molecule, organic compounds do not readily react. Reactions involving organic compounds are generally slower than inorganic reactions.

Large molecules react slower than small molecules. This because small molecules collide with other molecules faster, and this is how reactions happen.

because the reactants will finish over a period of time then you are left with only the products

Slower than what? What about some nitroglycerine? That is an organic compound that explodes. All organic compound reactions are not slow.

What are organic catalysts that increase the rates of chemical reactions within the cells?

Enzymes are general catalysts in the cell. They catalyse almost all reactions. They are proteins, some with other groups or ions attached.


What should be the properties of organic compounds so that hey can be separated by distillation?

To distill you need two soluble oranic materials which have different rates of evaporation when dissolved in water.


Do isotopes of an elements form similar compounds with atoms of other elements?

Absolutely yes, all isotopes of an element are chemically identical in the compounds they form as the chemistry is determined by the configuration of the electrons in the outer shell, which is completely unaffected by the number of neutrons inside the nucleus.What is affected in chemistry by different isotopes is reaction rates: compounds containing heavier isotopes react slower than compounds containing lighter isotopes. The most extreme case of this is heavy water, which reacts so slowly compared to ordinary water that it inhibits many reactions necessary for life!

What proteins are vital living things because of they speed up chemical reactions by up to a trillion times?

You are thinking of enzymes a protein molecule that helps other organic molecules enter into chemical reactions with one another but is itself unaffected by these reactions. In other words, enzymes act as catalysts (speed up 1000x) organic biochemical reactions.

Which statement describes the differences between chemical reactions and nuclear decay rates?

What is One way to increase the rates of chemical reactions is to increase what?

Catalyst


Is an enzyme a source of energy for endergonic reactions?

an enzyme is a protein that catalyzes (increases the rates of) reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction. enzymes catalyze all kinds of reactions, including endergonic reactions.
