What is the difference between a nonpolar bond and nonpolar molecule?
One term refers only to the bond, another refers to the molecule.
A large nonpolar organic molecule including fats and steroids?
Lipids are large nonpolar organic molecules that include fats and steroids. They are essential for energy storage, cell membrane structure, and hormone production in the body. Fats provide long-term energy storage, while steroids serve as signaling molecules and are involved in various physiological processes.
Are water particles really water molecules?
Water particles can refer to both water molecules (H2O) and larger entities like water droplets or ice crystals composed of multiple water molecules. It depends on the context in which the term is used.
Is styrofoam polar or nonpolar?
Thermoplastic is a term that refers to a substance turning into plastic when exposed to extreme temperatures. This would make Styrofoam thermoplastic.
What term may be used to describe a substance that is hydrophobic?
A substance that is hydrophobic is often referred to as water-repellent or nonpolar, meaning it does not interact well with water molecules and tends to repel them.
What is the term for how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid?
Surface tension is the term used to describe the difficulty of stretching or breaking the surface of a liquid. It is caused by the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules at the surface.
What does the science term called like dissolves like mean?
"Like Dissolves Like" is a concept in chemistry discribing hydrophobic (nonpolar) and hydrophilic (polar) interactions. Polar molecules, in order to reduce unfavorable interactions that require free energy to compensate for, tend to associate with other polar molecules. Non-polar molecules, likewise, associate with other nonpolar molecules. The terms hydrophobic and hydrophilic are used to describe a molecules tendency to associate with water. Polar molecules, using the "like dissolves like" concept associate with water, while nonpolar molecules tend to reduce interactions with water.
Process in which vapour molecules are recaptured by molecules at liquid surface?
This process is called condensation. It occurs when vapor molecules lose energy and transition back into a liquid state by interacting with other liquid molecules at the surface. This can happen when the temperature of the vapor decreases or when it comes into contact with a cooler surface.
What is the term for the movement of molecules within a liquid?
All molecules are in constant motion. Molecules of a liquid have more freedom of movement than those in a solid. Molecules in a gas have the greatest degree of motion. Heat, temperature and the motion of molecules are all related. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a material. Heat is the energy transferred between materials that have different temperatures. Increasing the temperature increases the translational motion of molecules Energy is related to temperature by the relationship: E= kT

What is the term for a polymer composed of three sugars?
The term for a polymer composed of three sugars is a trisaccharide.
Which term is the amount of energy required for a liquid at its boiling point to become a gas?
The term for the amount of energy required for a liquid at its boiling point to become a gas is called the latent heat of vaporization. This energy is needed to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together and allow them to escape as a gas.
What does geosphere mean in science term?
The term geosphere is often used to refer to the densest parts of Earth, which consist mostly of rock
Liquid of life term is for what?
" Liquid of life " is a term made for water.
Are non-polar molecules hydrophilic?
No, non-polar molecules are hydrophobic because they cannot form hydrogen bonds. A good example of this would be a cell membrane. The fatty acids in the lipid bilayer are non-polar and hydrophobic, while the polar ends that face the outside and inside of the cell are hydrophilic.
What is vaporization throughout a liquid?
You may be referring to boiling. First a little background.Vaporization is a phase change from the liquid state to the gaseous (or vapor) state. When a liquid vaporizes or evaporates, the more energetic molecules in the liquid leave the surface and enter the vapor phase in the air above the liquid. Because its the more energetic molecules that leave the liquid, and the kinetic energy of a molecules is related to the temperature, vaporization is a cooling process. Another term for this is endothermic, meaning it takes in heat.When a liquid is below its boiling point, not all molecules uniformly have enough energy to enter the vapor state. Some molecules have more energy and go into the vapor, others don't and stay behind in the liquid state. As an average, the liquid exhibits a vapor pressure less than that of the atmosphere. The vapor pressure of a liquid is a function of its temperature.When a liquid reaches its boiling temperature, however, that means the liquid's vapor pressure (as a whole) equals that of the atmosphere. So instead of evaporation just from the surface, now you see bubble of water vapor forming throughout the liquid and rising to the surface.
