It depends. If they are charged, they may be attracted to molecules of opposite charge. However, more frequently, high concentrations of molecules prefer to go to spaces with a smaller concentration of their same type.

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 happens as the molecules in a liquid move around?

As molecules in a liquid move around, they flow past each other, creating a fluid-like behavior. The molecules continuously collide with each other and with the boundaries of the container, leading to the pressure and viscosity characteristics associated with liquids.


When water molecules stick to the molecules of other substance the molecules are displaying?

Adhesion is the ability of water molecules to stick to other molecules. Cohesion is the ability of water molecules sticking to one another.


What three things can molecules moving with kenetic energy do?

Molecules moving with kinetic energy can collide with other molecules or surfaces, transfer energy to other molecules through collisions, and change direction due to interactions with other molecules in their environment.


Why do passenger molecules need to be helped by the carrier protein?

Some molecules can't go through the cell membrane.


Why does sound need a medium to transfer vibrations?

Sound means that some molecules transfer their vibrations to other molecules. So, because of this, obviously you need molecules to transfer sound.Sound means that some molecules transfer their vibrations to other molecules.

Why a gas would have higher entropy than a liquid?

Gas molecules have fewer constraints on their location, than liquid molecules. Molecules in a liquid have to remain in contact with the other molecules of the liquid, and are limited to a specific volume. Gas molecules can go anywhere, they are not connected to anything. So with more possible locations, gas molecules represent a state of higher entropy or disorder.


Why do oil and water hate each other?

Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.


Are non-polar molecules more attracted to other non-polar molecules or polar molecules?

Non-polar molecules are generally more attracted to other non-polar molecules due to the similar distribution of electronic charge. This attraction is known as London dispersion forces. Polar molecules tend to interact with other polar molecules through stronger dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding.


Molecules tend to move into area where there are more molecules?

That takes energy. Normal diffusion means that the molecules move away from each other (in other words ... to where there are less molecules).


What are free water molecules?

Free water molecules refer to water molecules that are not bound to other substances or ions. These molecules are freely moving and not involved in chemical interactions or bonding with other molecules.


State one reason why some molecules can pass through a certain membranebut other molecules can not?

Molecules can pass through a membrane if they are small enough to fit through the pores or channels in the membrane. Larger molecules may not be able to pass through due to their size, charge, or inability to interact with the membrane components.
