Why would you not expect all of the molecules of air in your room to have the same average speed?

They do have the same average speed ... it's called the air temprature.
I believe you need to define average for yourself.

What type of shift in the spectrum would you expect from a star that was moving in the same direction as earth and at the same speed as earth?
No shift under those conditions.
What is a main reason that an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules involved. If the temperature increases, then the kinetic energy of the molecules increases and they move faster. Faster moving molecules have more collisions with other molecules and more forcefully. For a reaction to occur, the molecules have to line up correctly and with adequate force. By increasing the speed of the particles, you are increasing the chance that the two molecules will align and produce a reaction.
How many miles out a hurricane's center would you generally expect to find tropical storm force winds?
It varies between storms but on average about 150 miles.
What is temperature in science?
Speed: The molecules of air and water bounce and hit each other at certain rates. Higher the temperature, faster collisions. Lower the temperature, the slower the molecules collide.Temperature is actually a measurement of energy. Every molecule has mass and velocity, the energy of which is E 1/2mv2. To get picky it is the root mean square velocity as any population of molecules has a normal distribution of velocities. The units of temperature could then be thought of as joules per molar volume.To simplify, temperature is the average speed of particles. How fast particles are moving depends on their kinetic energy. Though the definition would state it measures speed, it is actually the underlying amount of energy particles possess. But in any case, speed is a direct effect of this energy; so they can actually be synonymous in this case.
Would you expect the bolling point of chlorine to be higher or lower than that of iodine explain?
The boiling point of iodine (184.3 0C) is substantially higher than the boiling point of chlorine (-34 0C). Each element occurs at standard temperature and pressure as diatomic molecules; iodine molecules have substantially more mass than chlorine molecules; dispersion forces will be higher beween iodine molecules as they have more electrons than chlorine molecules. Both these factors contribute, mass will alomost certainly be the predominant factor.
do bromine molecules move faster then air molecules?
The speed of gas molecules is primarily determined by their temperature, not their specific identity. At the same temperature, bromine molecules and air molecules would have similar average speeds.
Which of the gases in the earth's atmosphere would you expect to find as molecules and which as individual atoms?
You would expect to find nitrogen and oxygen as molecules in the atmosphere, and argon as individual atoms.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules ionic molecules nonpolar covalent molecules?
ionic molecules
Where would you expect to find proteoglycan molecules?
The ground substance of the extracellular matrix.
Average speed is indicated on the speedometer?
I would call it current speed, not average speed.
What molecules would you expect to dissolve in water polar covalent molecules inoic molecules nonpolar convalent molecules?
ionic molecules dissolve the most. but some polar covalent molecules also do dissolve in water.
In what structure would you expect to find many newly produced molecules of ATP?
Mitochondria
How could you expect the bacterium to move?
it would move to where there is a higher concentration of sugar molecules
How does energy from the sun affect the motion of molecules in a solid compared to molecules in a gas?
The speed would vary depending on where the molecules are found. Molecules in gas will move faster than they would in liquid.
Which type of air would you expect to have more space between air molecules?
Warmer Air does this.
Which molecules would you expect to find in the tube leading back from the machine to the persons vein?
cats
Air molecules speed up the movement of objects in motion?
The friction (with the air molecules) would slow it down.
