Are Gas molecules are always evenly distributed in the atmosphere?

This phenomena can be described a number of different ways. The easiest explanation is that gasses dissipate (are distributed evenly) due to the theory of entropy. This theory states that every chemical system, or every natural system, will favor disorder/randomness. To keep unrestrained gasses ordered would require a lot of order, and in order to maintain that order (no pun intended), a lot of energy would need to be expended. Therefore, unless an order is forced onto the system gases will naturally dissipate. Also, it is worth noting that, while on average, gases are evenly distributed in solution, each gas particle is actually traveling randomly, meaning that momentarily, gases may be unequally distributed, but working back towards equilibrium, where they would be dissipated.

∙ 13y agoThat depends on the phase of the matter.
In a gas they are distributed randomly (or so I've been told by my college teacher, perhaps someone from a university could tell) and (barely) influenced by each other
In a liquid the same holds true though they are spaced less far appart
In a solid they are (depending on the kind of solid, metalic, ionic, etc) in a lattice, spaced together, neatly and tight.
Hope this helps

Why does a drop of food coloring in a glass of water slowly become evenly distributed even if it is not stirred?
The colour of food drops gets distributed evenly without stirring because of the process of diffusion. In this process, particles move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. An example of this is the diffusion of oxygen into blood in the lungs.
What is an evenly distributed uniform misture called?
This type of mixture is known as a homogeneous mixture. On the other hand, a mixture in which the particles are not distributed evenly is a heterogeneous mixture.
What is evenly distributed uniform mixture called?
The term that describes a mixture with a uniform composition is homogeneous. This means that its components are distributed throughout it evenly.
What characterizes a homogeous mixture?
the substances are evenly distributed throughout. (APEX) :)
Is solution a mixture in which the components are evenly distributed throughout?
Yes, it is true.
Does the temperature in the layers of the sun's atmosphere evenly distributed?
The sun does not have an atmosphere. In the earth, the temperature in the different layers is not evenly distributed.
What is homogeneous mixture with evenly distributed atoms or molecules?
solution
When molecules are evenly distributed through a liquid what is it called?
equilibrium
What mixture of two or more substances in which the molecules of the substance are evenly distributed?
It is a homogeneous mixture.

Would you expect osmosis and diffusion to the stop when substances are evenly distributed?
You would expect it to be even, but it is not. Since there is energy in the cell, (which can also be heat) molecules will constantly be moving around the cell.
What moves thermal energy from one location and transfer it to another location at a different temperature?
tempaure is the measure of average kinetic energy. things with high temperatures have molecules moving at high speeds. when heat is transferred, the kinetic energy between molecules are being dispursed and evenly distributed through the fluid, solid or atmosphere
How Does The Dye Molecules Spread In The Water?
Dye molecules spread in water through a process called diffusion, where they move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration until they are evenly distributed.
Can diffusion occur without membrane?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules kineticly from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed. Osmosis is the movement of molecules thru a membrane.
What is the type of mixture whose componets are not evenly distributed evenly?

Is the population in Vietnam evenly distributed?
