the first law of thermodynamics   matter and energy can neither be created or destroyed only changed from one form to another (E=mc2)  
🗑
Second Law of Thermodynamics   during energy transformations, some enerrgy changes to an UNUSABLE form --> going from order to disorder --> increase entropy  
🗑
Entropy   the measure of DISORDER or randomness in a system --> entropy INCREASES over time  
🗑

🗑
Third Law of Thermodynamics   it is IMPOSSIBLE to reach absolute zero  
🗑
Kinetic Molecular Theory   - all matter is made of microscopic particles that are in constant motion - if you add energy to the particles they will speed up - atoms, molecules, and ions are attracted to each other by electrical forces keeping them from flying apart

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
