Drbazz said:Do the atoms in molecules separate quicker if they are moved more vigourously in their lifetime and therefoe cause death of the living organism they makes up sooner? For example: A giant tortoise is slower than a cheatah during its life and lives longer. A tree is slower than a tortoise and lives longer. During a hydrogen Bomb the molecules are separated allmost instantly. Does this make any semse to anyone?
ZapperZ said:No.
How do you equate something moving slower (a tortoise) has having "slower" molecular motion? Do you think such movement actually provides THAT significant speed to what is already present with molecular vibration?

Drbazz said:So do molecules allways vibrate at the same speed no matter what forces are put against them? Sorry I'm no expert on this so not completely sure on molecular vibrations. It just confuses me how a animals which have very similar molecular make-up live for different times. Why if the molecules are the same do they change back to atoms at different speeds? And these speeds are not random. Animals have average ages to living too.
ZapperZ said:This is more of a question for biologist then a physics question, because the speed that we move normally is MINISCULE when compared to how fast molecules, atoms, and other particles move in material.
Biology is a complex field. I think you are missing a lot of other factors beyond just "molecule speed" when considering lifespan.

Drbazz said:Well is it known why molecules separate back to atoms
do all water molecules last the same amount of time and is there anyway to predict when certain molecules will break up?

ZapperZ said:It is?
I don't know. You were the one who claim they somehow spontaneously break up. So it is you who needs to provide the reference on where you got the idea from.

A slight misunderstanding, generally molecules are stable. It takes energy to break a molcule apart but gives off energy to create one.Drbazz said:Its obvious your molecules break up when you die and change to something else as your body is no longer there.
Drbazz said:I read it in a book by Bill Bryson. Its obvious your molecules break up when you die and change to something else as your body is no longer there.
The process of molecules breaking down into singular atoms is called dissociation. This occurs when the bonds between atoms in a molecule are broken, resulting in the formation of individual atoms.
Molecules can break down into singular atoms due to various factors such as high temperatures, chemical reactions, or exposure to radiation. These processes can provide enough energy to break the bonds between atoms.
No, not all molecules can be broken down into singular atoms. Some molecules, such as noble gases, are made up of single atoms and do not have any bonds that can be broken. Other molecules have strong bonds that require a lot of energy to break down.
After a molecule breaks down into singular atoms, the atoms can form new bonds with other atoms to create new molecules. They can also exist as free atoms, which can combine with other atoms to form compounds or participate in chemical reactions.
Understanding the process of molecules breaking down into singular atoms is important in many fields of science, such as chemistry, biology, and physics. It helps to explain the behavior of substances and how they interact with each other. It also allows scientists to manipulate and create new materials, compounds, and chemical reactions for various purposes.
