Depends on the atoms and how they are situated.
Examples : in a fired bullet ... they all travel at a high(er) velocity.
In a pot of boiling water ... each molecule moves faster until it escapes the pot.
in fluorescent material ... the electrons gain energy, and then release it as a glow.
In a nuclear plant ... some atoms break apart into 2 or more atoms (fission).

Why do atoms absorb or emit energy in very specific units?
because only 10% of the energy stored in the organism is tranferred to the organism that feeds on it.
What is the plant molecules that absorb energy?
chloroplast's absorb light energy
Does energy contain atoms?
No it does not. Atoms can have energy.
Can chemical reactions absorb energy?
yes they do,the reactions which absorb energy are called endothermic reaction.
What is energy released from chemical reactions called?
Light Energy,Electrical Energy,Light and thermal energy
Do atoms absorb the same energy?
No, atoms do not absorb the same energy. The amount of energy an atom can absorb depends on its electronic structure and the specific energy levels of its electrons. Different atoms have different numbers of electrons and different energy level arrangements, so they will absorb and emit energy at different wavelengths and energies.
Which particles do plants absorb to obtain energy?
Atoms
What layer of the atmosphere do oxygen and nitrogen atoms absorb energy from the sun?
The Thermosphere does.
Atoms can absorb energy in their orbital electrons and release it as light scientist use a what to measure the light in order to what?
spectroscope.....find out what kind of atoms are giving off light energy
Why do atoms absorb or emit energy in very specific units?
because only 10% of the energy stored in the organism is tranferred to the organism that feeds on it.
Atoms filled with outermost energy levels tend what to participate in chemical reactions?
not participate in chemical reactions.
Why can atoms absorb certaian wavelengths of light?
It has to do with the quantum energy differences between the atomic electron orbitals. A photon will be absorbed if it exactly matches the energy needed to cause an electron to jump from the orbital it is in to a higher one (or completely escape the atom creating an ion).
What is a reaction that absorbs energy?
The type of reaction that absorbs energy is endothermic. This process takes the energy from its surroundings, absorbs it, and creates heat.
Why does the double bond between two carbon atoms absorb ir energy?
Infrared is absorbed by the vibration of molecules. The vibrational energy of a molecule is quantized. The IR energy will cause vibration of the atoms linked by the bond. This will be a specific frequency that will vary slightly from compound to compound.ecule,
What is phosphorus atoms embedded in plastic absorb light energy and slowly release the light in a glow and the dark process called?
photoluminescence
Can the atoms and molecules in matter move faster at higher temperature?
yes atoms and molecules do move faster at higher temperatures, at higher temperatures the atoma and molecules absorb more kinetic energy
Does vaporization absorb or release energy?
Vaporization absorb energy.
