I can offer no further insight.

First of all, I know that that very large stars tend to form black holes, and smaller stars, but still massive in comparison to our sun, tend to form neutron stars. My question is, if matter is lost when a star collapses into a black hole, but can still form one, why is it that it is a star...

Thank you. And if I may ask, what are some dignified Chemists that are also authors?

The more reactive an element, the stronger bonds it forms, because the same energy must be put into that bond to separate them that was put out due to the reaction. Most of the elements we are made of, in pure form, are reactive correct? Carbon and oxygen have very high electronegativities, and...

I know how they differ from one another, but what are they physically? Are humans closed systems, because we are able to exchange energy between us and our surroundings, but what I am trying to learn is the kinds of systems in chemical reactions: which elements react to form different systems...

In other words, the whole point of the reaction is not to stabilize? And then, how does entropy have anything to do with a reaction?

I thought entropy was energy not able to be used in a reaction? please explain?

Large molecules and compounds. For example, let's take Carbon in its pure elemental form. I thought that when elements react with one another, they become more and more stable, so how is it that when they react, which makes a much more stable compound/molecule, they still react with other...

I see, very intriguing...

Its something I made up, something like WittyLizard, EducatedSloth,CorrodedElephant

If you read my other threads you'd realize that I am not in High School yet. No worries, common misunderstanding.

Nope, I hadn't logged on to my PF account in weeks when I read it.

I know, but then why does metal get much hotter left out than we do? I have a feeling its cause since it reflects so much of the incident radiation coming of it, we feel it through that.

I had just finished reading a space oddessey, and I had a dream in which there were about 10 people standing around me, each unique, one was a girl with purple highlights, and then in the middle of us (we were in a circle) was like a miniature milky way galaxy, and each of us described a process...

We would most likely grow in temperature greatly correct? I know this sounds to basic but the answer would help me very much. Because if our body absorbs all of the visible spectrum except the part it reflects, why don't we grow very high in temperature?
