What happens when dust grains absorb visible light?
they heat up and put out infrared light and then we can detect them

Where does a star's angular momentum go as its spin slows down?
I believe that if the star were to slow down, the angular momentum would cease to exist and the star would no longer form
How do molecular cloud assist in the star formation process?
Yes, this is what goes through angular momentum and eventually ends up as a star
Are there any other effects that occur during the "flattening" phase?
Matter shoots out of the sides of the disk
What is an interstellar medium?
It is basically just all of the space in space, lol. It exists in between the stars and is made up of all different kinds of molecules and things
Molecular clouds you stated were very hot and very dense. How hot are these clouds and how dense are they?
10-30 Kelvin and 300 molecules per cubic centimeter
