Do you think the temperature of the room effects the time it takes an odor to get to your nose? Explain your answer. Provide 2 pieces of scientific reasoning to explain why.

I think that the temperature does not affect the odor. If we think about this we can say that temperature could provide different atoms to mix with the molecules. However, if we think about temperature in the last unit we learned that temperature is an abiotic factor meaning it can only affect the molecules by making them either warmer or colder. So the final answer is no because there is no such thing as hot or cold types of atoms.
