is it that there turned into a gas and mixed up or something?

 

Im guessing it varies for different atoms, so, lets say hydrogen.

 

What would i need to do to get one hydrogen molecule to bond with one carbon molecule?

 

and then, how would i make it so it was something like 3 hydrogen molecules and 2 carbons?

 

thanks guys. sorry if this is a stupid question.

Chemical reactions. If you are really interested in learning all of this stuff and cannot wait for a class, I suggest investing in a general chemistry textbook. There are excellent deals on amazon.com.

cameron I have to say i really commend your curiosity. You're asking some questions which can't be easily answered. The answer to this one would take at least a page, and a full answer would take an entire degree.

 

How old are you? perhaps you're going to college or university soon? you might want to think about taking a chemistry course or even an entire program

That's the fundamental question of chemistry, in a way - how can we turn A to B, and what can we predict about B in advance?

 

As hermanntrude said, if you want a complete answer, take a course in chemistry and be prepared for years (a lifetime, if you're willing) of enjoyable study.
