That would depend on wiether or not the molecule reacts to the heat or not. For instance gasoline will take heat to a point then react in a combustion reaction, forming new substances. Metals take heat to a point then have enough energy to change state into a liquid, but they don't fly apart. The more energy you add to something in general, the more excited the atoms of the molecule become and the molecule will be able to change state. Or at some point the molecule will gain enough energy to chemically react. However to end my prattling, I know some substances will eventually hold enough heat to turn into plasma, which I think can separate into elements, which would mean the atoms had to split at some point.

Does the heat of neutralization reaction depend on the number of hydrogen atoms in a molecule of acid?

No. The rate of the neutralization reaction is concentration dependent, but the "heat of neutralization" is defined on a molar basis already, so it is not.


What does energy made from split atoms mean?

Energy made from split atoms refers to nuclear energy, which is generated through a process called nuclear fission. During nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat can then be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.


Does heat transmit readily through a molecule?

No, heat does not transmit readily through a single molecule. Instead, heat is typically transferred through a material via the vibrations and movements of its atoms and molecules. These vibrations can be influenced by factors such as the material's thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity.


What is the device that splits atoms to produce heat energy?

A device that splits atoms to produce energy is called a nuclear reactor. Nuclear reactors commonly split uranium-235 or plutonium-239. The heat is created mainly through: 1. An increase of the average kinetic energy of local atoms directly after fission 2. Gamma rays giving more energy to atoms 3. Radioactive decay which also creates heat


As two chlorine atoms combine to form a molecule energy is released absorbed created or destroyed?

Energy is released when two chlorine atoms combine to form a molecule. This is because the bond formation is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat.


When uranium atoms split what is it called?

When uranium atoms split, it is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.


How many atoms are in steam?

Yes in a metter of speaking. You know that steam is water that you put a lot of heat into?, well water takes in that thermal energy and changes phase with it. Water is made up of atoms, two hydrogens and an oxygen for each molecule, that's where the formula H2O comes from. So if steam is just water that is really hot in the gas phase and water is a molecule made from atoms, steam must also be a molecule made from atoms.


Can your hair get damaged if it is straightened too often?

Yes. The heat will damage your hair and cause the ends to split eventually. It dries out your hair a lot.

What occurs when a molecule combines oxygen and produces heat?

The oxidation reaction is called combustion : the material may burn or explode.


How does heat travel by conduction through different materials?

Heat travels by conduction through different materials by transferring kinetic energy from one molecule to another. In metals, heat is conducted through the free electrons between atoms. In non-metals, heat is conducted through vibrations of atoms and molecules.


Atomic energy is the energy of heat mass or fluorescence?

Atomic energy is produced when atoms of uranium235 or other fissile material split, or undergo fission. It is nothing to do with fluorescence, and I don't understand 'heat mass'
