Sentences with phrase «air molecules become»

Not exact matches

Plasma causes the neutrally charged oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the air to become electrically charged.

At below atmospheric pressure, water molecules become a less - dense, lightweight crystal that is more air than molecule — like an icy candyfloss.

But below about 1,500 meters, the ice becomes so compressed that trapped air molecules are forced into the space between the ice crystals, forming what is known as a gas clathrate.

You do have such an amazing molecule in your fictional world, defying gravity it can stay up in the atmosphere for hundreds and even thousands of years accumulating though it's one and a half times heavier than air, and, with no heat capacity to spit at, it can trap heat, or, heck you can't even get your stories to say the same thing consistently, it becomes this great thermal blanket stopping heat escaping... just how much of that blanket is holes?

The MITS reasons that one molecule moving at ten times the average speed of air molecules at sea level must be much hotter than average, but this only shows a lack of appreciation for how something like temperature becomes meaningless without an abstraction on which to base it.

Why would it become heavier if it consists of the same number of air molecules?

Note that the non-anthropic (or natural) delta13C becomes very slowly more negative (from -6.5 per mil preindustrial to about -7 per mil now) with the replacement of CO2 molecules absorbed by the vegetation by molecules out - gassed from soils by the oxidation of the organic material of plants grown years to centuries before: the delta13C of the air was then slightly less negative.

The oxygen in the molecule is released back into the air and the carbon becomes part of the plant's structure and eventually the soil.
