Atoms within molecules are bound by bonds of different types, but nothing physically attaches them, technically. Forces, almost all magnetic, help pull atoms together, though the strength of this force has to be stronger than the heat movement in order to actually hold these atoms together.

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


Molecules have properties that are different than the?

individual atoms they are made of. These properties include polarity, reactivity, and ability to form chemical bonds with other atoms or molecules. This is due to the arrangement and interactions of the atoms within the molecule.


When atoms combine with other atoms?

They make molecules. Molecules are a bunch of Atoms together.


Is a molecule equivalent to a molecule?

Molecules are not always equivalent to molecules, as some molecules have more atoms than other molecules, and other molecules have different kinds of atoms than other molecules.


What is the role of the kinetic energy within an object's atoms or molecules in causing the object to vibrate?

The kinetic energy within an object's atoms or molecules causes them to vibrate by providing the energy needed for the particles to move and collide with each other, creating vibrations in the object.


Can molecules combine to form atoms?

No. Atoms bond to each other to form molecules, not the other way round


A group of atoms bound to each other?

Molcule


Atoms join with each other to become more like this?

Molecules. Atoms combine through chemical bonds to form molecules, which are stable structures that exhibit unique physical and chemical properties based on the types and arrangement of atoms within them.


Can atoms in a molecule share or lose electrons?

Yes. Just as atoms can form molecular bonds with other atoms (especially in molecules), some molecules can form bonds with other molecules, as with (OH) radicals and hydrated molecules.


Are atoms made of molecules?

No, atoms are not made of molecules. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and are composed of a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Molecules, on the other hand, are formed when atoms chemically bond together.


Do atoms change during a physical change?

Nope. All that happens in chemical reactions is that atoms are rearranged into new molecules or compounds. You can't destroy atoms in a chemical reaction so whatever you begin with is what you end up with.


Heat is the random movement of what?

Heat is the random movement of molecules within a substance. This movement occurs as the molecules vibrate and collide with each other, transferring energy in the form of heat.
