|
| Conductors |
a material that transfers thermal energy well metal, tile, ceramic and glass |
| Conduction |
transfer of heat one particle to another. example pot on a buner by contact |
| Radiation |
the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves example microwave (doesn't require matter) |
| Convection |
Transfer of heat by the movement of currents in a liquid or gas |
| Insulator |
the material that transfers thermal energy poorly wood, plastic, and mittens. |
| Temperature |
the measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in matter |
| Fahrenheit Scale |
The most common temperature scale in the United States. |
| Freezing Fahrenheit |
32 degrees Fahrenheit |
| Boiling Fahrenheit |
212 degrees Fahrenheit |
| Celsius Scale |
the most common temperature scale in nearly all other countries. |
| Freezing Celsius |
Zero degrees Celsius |
| Boiling Celsius |
One hundred degrees Celsius |
| Kelvin Scale |
the temperature scale most commonly used in physical science |
| Kelvin Freezing |
273 Kelvins |
| Kelvin Boiling |
373 Kelvins |
| Condensation |
the change of state from a gas to a liquid which occurs when the gas releases thermal energy |
| Thermal Energy |
Total energy of all the particles in an object |
| Boiling |
vaporization that takes place below the surface of a liquid. |
| Specific Heat |
The amount of heat measured in celsius needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree celsius. |
| Heat |
Thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object. (Measured in joules) |
| Absolute Zero |
the temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter and is equal to -273 degrees celcius. |
| Kinetic Theory of Matter |
All matter is made up of small particles that are in constant motion. |
| Thermal expansion |
the expanding of matter when it is heated |
| Change of State |
the physical change from one state of matter to another due to a change in the amount of thermal energy |
| Melting |
the change of state from solid to a liquid which occurs when a solid absorbs thermal energy |
| Freezing |
change of state from a liquid to a solid which occurs when matter releases thermal energy |
| vaporization |
The change of state from a liquid to a gas which occurs when liquid absorbs thermal energy |
| evaporation |
vaporization that occurs on surface of a liquid |
