a. (1) A methane molecule, CH4, in the stratosphere or (2) a CH3 molecule and a hydrogen atom formed from breaking one of the carbon-hydrogen bonds in a CH4 molecule. b. (1) A water molecule moving at 1.63 × 103 mi/h or (2) the same water molecule moving at 1.81 × 103 mi/h. (These are the average velocities of water molecules at 110 °C and 200 °C.)

c. (1) Iodine solid or (2) iodine gas. (Assume that the two systems are at the same temperature.)

d. (1) A nitrogen monoxide, NO, molecule and an oxygen atom in the stratosphere or (2) the NO2 molecule that can form when they collide.

e. (1) Two bar magnets pushed together with the north pole of one magnet almost touching the south pole of the other magnet or (2) the same magnets farther apart.

f. (1) A water molecule moving at 1.63 × 103 mi/h or (2) a uranium hexafluoride, UF6, molecule moving at the same velocity.
