Thermally Agitated Molecule (grayscale)
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Shown here is the thermal motion of a segment of protein alpha helix. Molecules have various internal vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom. This is because molecules are complex objects; they are a population of atoms that can move about within a molecule in different ways. This makes molecules distinct from the noble gases such as helium and argon, which are monatomic (consisting of individual atoms). Heat energy is stored in molecules’ internal motions which gives them an internal temperature. Even though these motions are called “internal,” the external portions of molecules still move—rather like the jiggling of a water balloon.
Nederlands: Hier wordt de thermische beweging van een segment van de eiwit-alfa-helix getoond. Moleculen hebben verschillende interne trillings- en rotatievrijheidsgraden. Dit komt omdat moleculen complexe objecten zijn; Ze zijn een populatie van atomen die zich op verschillende manieren binnen een molecuul kunnen verplaatsen. Dit maakt moleculen verschillend van de edelgassen zoals helium en argon, die monatomisch zijn (bestaande uit individuele atomen). Warmte-energie wordt opgeslagen in de interne bewegingen van moleculen, waardoor ze een interne temperatuur krijgen. Hoewel deze bewegingen 'intern' worden genoemd, bewegen de uitwendige delen van moleculen nog steeds - een beetje zoals het wiebelen van een waterballon. |
