| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Power | the rate at which work is done. |
| Velocity | Speed with direction |
| What is Velocity measured in | is meters per second (m/s). |
| Conduction: | Heat transfer by direct contact (e.g., touching a hot iron). |
| Convection: | Heat transfer through the movement of fluids, like air or water |
| Thermal Radiation: | The transfer of heat by the emission of infrared radiation. |
| The Atom: | The smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element |
| Fundamental Particles: | Protons, neutrons, and electrons. |
| Structure: | A positively charged nucleus (containing protons and neutrons) is surrounded by negatively charged electrons. |
| Atomic Number (Z): | the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. This number determines the chemical element (e.g., Aluminum has an atomic |

| Dmitri Mendeleev: | Developed the periodic table of elements. |
| Rutherford | Discovered the atom has a dense, positive nucleus with an electron cloud. |
| o Bohr | Described the atom as a nucleus with electrons in well-defined orbits or "shells." |
| Power: Its SI unit is the Joule/second (J/s), | also known as a Watt. |
