QuestionAnswer
Heat flows from ____ to ______. Hot, cold
The reason why atoms, molecules, ions, and subatomic particles are in constant motion. Kinetic-molecular model
Total Internal Energy = Potential energy + Kinetic Energy
Thermal energy = sum of all kinetic energies of its particles.
How is Thermal Energy measured? as it is transferred from one system to another.
What happens when you gain kinetic energy? You increase your thermal energy and your temperature.
What happens when molecules move faster? they gain kinetic energy.
Transferring particle kinetic energy is called? heating and cooling.
loss of thermal energy = falling temperature
gain of thermal energy = rising temperature
what is related to the AVERAGE kinetic energy pf its atoms and molecules? the temperature of an object
what were the 2 initial boiling and freezing points called in the Fahrenheit scale? the fiducial points
thermal expansions happens where? on the particle level.
Thermal energy is? When something is cooled or heated and expands or contracts.
this increases with increasing temperature because of electrons moving more randomly. Electrical resistance
the measure of the resistance of liquids to flow. Viscosity
Heat is? the amount of thermal energy flowing from one place to another.
The 3 ways heat is transferred. Conduction, convection, radiation.
Conduction is? the transfer of heat when 2 objects touch each other
What is the chief process that thermal energy moves through solids? Conduction
Convection is? heat transferred through liquids.
Radiation is? heat transferred through outward sources.
what does thermal energy most efficiently move through to get radiant energy? a vacuum
what is the best insulator? a vacuum
Insulators are? materials that resist the flow of thermal energy.
Heat capacity is? relationship between the amount of thermal energy absorbed and the temperature change caused by this.
specific heat is? the amount of thermal energy that must be gained or lost to change the temperature of 1 g of the substance.
Latent heat of vaporization is? the amount of heat it takes to change a liquid to a gas.
Latent heat of fusion is? amount of thermal energy exchanged per gram of material during melting or freezing.
Ohase change from liquid to solid freezing
phase change from solid to liquid melting
phase change from gas to liquid condensation
liquid change from liquid to gas vaporization
change from solid to gas, skipping liquid phase. sublimation
change from gas to solid, skipping liquid phase. deposition
Triple point, temperature and pressure point which solid, liquid, and gas phases exist at the same time.
Critical point is temperature above where a substance will always be a gas regardless of the pressure.
temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are in equilibrium at atmospheric pressure. freezing point
temperature at which vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure on the liquid. Boiling point

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
