What is the minimum amount of energy required for two substances to react?
The minimum amount of energy needed is called the "activiation energy". It varries depending on factors such as your reaction, temperature and several others.
Why heat transfer happen?
heat transfer happens because objects that have energy, meaning vibrating atoms will bump against others and transfer the energy to the other atoms and so on. and also because things always have a tendency to have more entropy as time passes.
Who established the amount of energy released in nuclear reactions?
This took a lot of effort by various research establishments, notably Oak Ridge and Los Alamos during WW2, and after that by others including Harwell in the UK.
Dominoes standing in a row will all fall if the first one is tipped toward the others how does the law of conservation of energy describe this?
The Law of Conservation of Energy doesn't give you much useful information in this situation. Anyway, what happens in terms of energy is simply that the dominoes initially have potential energy. While they are falling, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Once they hit the ground, the kinetic energy gets transferred to other forms of energy, in part the shock wave (vibration) imparted by the domino to the ground, in part heat.
What changes is the arrangement of the particles and their energy?
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat CapacityThe amount of of temperature change, when thermal energy is added to the particles is another property that particles in different materials have. Different materials will increase or decrease their average energy depending on how much thermal energy is provided.Heat Capacity is the amount of thermal energy that warms or cools an object by 1oC (it depends on the mass and the type of particle the object is made of).Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of thermal energy that warms or cools 1 gram, of a specific type of particle, by 1oC.Changes of StateSome substances like water (or wax) can undergo observable changes through all three states of matter - solid liquid and gas.Some substances, like hydrogen, require high pressures and low temperatures (-253oC) to make the particles slow down enough for them to change their state from a gas to a liquid.Any pure substance can exist in all three states of matter.Melting and Boiling Points When heat is transferred in a space the average energy of the particles - the temperature of the substance - is affected, by increasing or decreasing. A substance will change it's state when it reaches certain temperatures - called boiling and melting points. Table 3 (p. 221) At everyday temperatures on Earth, most substances are either gases or solids.What Happens When A Liquid Evaporates? In a liquid, the particles are moving very quickly. At the surface, some of the particles are able to escape into the air, while others do not have enough energy to escape and remain in the liquid. As high energy particles escape, the average energy of the remaining particles is less and so the liquid cools. The cool liquid then cools the surface on which it is resting. This is called evaporative cooling. It is common and useful in many situations:Joggers cooling down as their sweaty clothes dry outWater cools down a roof on hot summer dayA wet cloth is placed on your forehead when you have a feverWhy The Temperature Stays The Same During a phase change, the average energy of the particles remains the same, but, the particles are rearranging themselves. Particles become less organized as their energy increases, so the substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas. As the energy of the particles becomes less, the particles rearrange themselves more orderly, so a gas changes to a liquid and then to a solid. The total energy of the particles changes - by increasing or decreasing, because the particles are not increasing or decreasing their speed, just their arrangement. The average energy doesn't change. The energy change is hidden from a thermometer and is called 'hidden heat' or 'latent heat'.

What happens when elements join?
Chemical bonds form, creating compounds. In some cases energy is released, in others energy is consumed.
What happens if the beneiciary of a will is deceased?
That will depend on the wording of the will. It will either specify that amount is split among the others or their heirs will get it.
Which type of organism changes energy from sun into food for itself and others?
the answer you are most likely looking for is any photosynthetic plant.
Does tilt affect the amount of solar energy earth receives?
No, the tilt of the earth doesn't affect the amount of solar energy received from the sun. It does mean that at different seasons, different parts of the earth will get more than others, but the overall amount remains the same.
What happens to the behavior when you add energy to them?
Behavior is not a substance or a matter in this case. Therefore it is not possible to add energy to it. However, there are some behaviors that often come out stronger than others.
Can energy harm you body?
Basically, yes - though it depends on the type and amount of energy. You can get killed by an excessive electrical current flowing through you, and by excess heat, among others.
What two kinds of energy changes can take place during a chemical reaction?
Two types of energy changes that can occur in a chemical reaction are (1) endothermic and (2) exothermic. Endothermic is where energy is added to the system and exothermic is where energy is given off by the system.
What is the duration of It Only Happens to Others?
The duration of It Only Happens to Others is 1.42 hours.
What makes some stars look brighter then others?
How big, how hot (color/amount of energy emitted), how far, light pollution at viewing site
When was It Only Happens to Others created?
It Only Happens to Others was created on 1971-10-29.
Is nuclear energy cheaper than others than others?
yes i believe that nuclear energy is cheaper than others
