What is a group of molecules that are mixed in a completely even distribution?

A group of molecules mixed in a completely even distribution is called a homogeneous mixture. This means that the components are evenly spread throughout the mixture and do not separate upon standing. Examples include salt dissolved in water and air.


What are Sugar molecules called that can combine with one another to form large molecules?

What is the first thing that must occur for two molecules to react with one another?

The two molecules must collide with the correct orientation and with a minimum amount of energy (called the activation energy).


Before two molecules can react chemists envision that the molecules must first collide with one another Is collision among molecules the only consideration for the molecules to react with each other?

No, collision between molecules is necessary but not the only consideration for them to react. The molecules must also possess enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier required for the reaction to occur and they must be oriented in a way that allows the necessary bonds to be formed or broken during the collision. Additionally, factors such as temperature, pressure, and presence of a catalyst can also influence the likelihood and rate of a reaction.


Energy is transfered when molecules bump into one another is called?

Conduction.


How do you increase or decrease the movment of molecules?

Molecules react to thermal energy, or heat, as well as pressure. When you increase the temperature of molecules, they will increase their vibration and movement. Pressure can also allow molecules to move from one area to another.


What are the molecules that bump into one another cause energy called what?

The molecules that bump into one another and cause energy are called reactants. When reactant molecules collide with enough energy, they can undergo a chemical reaction and transform into products. This collision energy is known as activation energy.


What is a covalent substance whose molecules are very large and because the atoms involved continue to bond one another called?

Very large covalent molecules are called macromoleules or sometimes giant molecules. I do not what the part of the question "because the atoms involved continue to bond one another called?" means


What is energy transferred when molecules bump info one another?

The energy transferred when molecules bump into one another is called kinetic energy. This transfer occurs during collisions between molecules, leading to changes in their motion and speed.


Do ions in solution need activation energy to react with one another?

No, ions in solution do not need activation energy to react with one another. Since they are already in a dissociated state in solution, they can readily interact and form new compounds without the barrier of activation energy typically required for chemical reactions between neutral molecules.


Why do enzymes react?

The molecule that an enzyme react with, works on, is called a substrate. The substrate varies from one enzyme to another. The active site is the 3-D shape on the enzyme where a substrate binds for the reaction to take place.
