Science Unit 5 part
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Temperature | Is the average amount of kinetic energy of the particles in a substance |
| Thermoneter | A thermoneter is an object to measure temperature |
| Thermal energy | Is the total energy amount of kinetic energy off the particles in an object |
| Heat | Is a flow of energy between objects at different temperatures. |
| Conduction | The transfer of heat energy by molecules touching each other |
| Convection | Heat is transferred by movement of currents within a fluid. Particles rise and fall because of density differences. |
| Radiation | Is transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves |
| Solid | Definite shape and volume |
| Liquid | Definite volume, changing shape |
| Gas | No definite shape or volume |
| Melting | The change of a solid to a liquid by absorbing heat |
| Freezing | The change of a liquid to a solid by realising heat |
| Evaporation | The change of a liquid to a gas by absorbing heat |
| Boiling | The change of a liquid to a gas by absorbing heat |
| Condensation | The change of a gas to a liquid by realising heat |
| Endothermic | The molecules absorb energy from the environment to make the phase change occur (S=>L=G) |
| Exothermic | The molecules RELEASE energy from the environment to make phase change occur (G=>L=>S |
