Sentences with phrase «traveled by a molecule»

Where there less molecules and so less inference to distance traveled by a molecule.

Not exact matches

Like the poet, microbes that make methane are taking chemists on a road less traveled: Of two competing ideas for how microbes make the main component of natural gas, the winning chemical reaction involves a molecule less favored by previous research, something called a methyl radical.

Scientists have long known that brain cells communicate via electrical missives, created by charged atoms and molecules called ions as they travel across the membranes of those cells.

With one end attracted to water and the other end repelled by it, the surfactant molecules travel to the surface of the drop once it is immersed in oil.

But as the sun edges toward the horizon, the light must travel increasingly longer paths and is scattered by more air molecules.

RICHLAND, Wash. — Like the poet, microbes that make methane are taking chemists on a road less traveled: Of two competing ideas for how microbes make the main component of natural gas, the winning chemical reaction involves a molecule less favored by previous research, something called a methyl radical.

No longer free to jiggle around and transfer heat via this large scale motion, water molecules in the layer are forced together and heat is only able to travel through the skin layer by way of conduction.

The oxygen that is released from the sulfate radical is picked up by the myoglobin, sequestered inside the molecule for safe travel to the mitochondria.

Or a brief cartoon could be fashioned to depict Just How, quantum mechanically, a passing electro - negative «wave - field» disturbance, a momentary peak of traveling electro - negativity say, would, passing the CO2 IR ACTOR @ the speed of light, encounter a momentarily BENT molecule, W / a dipole similar to Water's 104.45 ° bond & bend angle, though by far, not as large.

How far does an emitted photon travel before it is absorbed again by another molecule?

Ozone - depleting substances are emitted by human activity at the planet's surface and eventually travel to the stratosphere, where there the chlorine atoms and certain other constituent parts break apart the three oxygen atoms that make up an ozone molecule.

So that is how they think there is empty space around our Earth with gas «molecules» miles apart from each other travelling at great speeds unimpeded by the volumes of other gases around them, because their gases have no individual volumes.

Also, this is ideal gas «constant rapid motion» by which it means travelling at great speeds through empty space, it does not mean the vibrational movement of the molecule which is anyway confined by by the other real gas molecules under gravity around it.

Ira Glickstein, PhD says: February 28, 2011 at 11:08 pm What the 100 % absorption means is that 100 % of the photons in the appropiate bands are 100 % likely to be absorbed by an H2O or CO2 molecule before they travel all the way through the Atmosphere.

Nitrogen has 1950 of these 2500 and oxygen has 525 of them so water molecule emitted photons would travel even further before capture by another H2O molecule.

In physics, the mean free path is the average distance travelled by a moving particle (such as an atom, a molecule, a photon) between successive impacts (collisions), [1] which modify its direction or energy or other particle properties.

What the 100 % absorption means is that 100 % of the photons in the appropiate bands are 100 % likely to be absorbed by an H2O or CO2 molecule before they travel all the way through the Atmosphere.
