6th CK HEAT AND ENERGY TRANSFER A - C SET 1 - COMPLETE

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Absolute zero   the temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter.  
🗑
Amorphous Solid   the particles are not arranged in any particular order  
🗑
Biomass   Material in growing or dead plants.  
🗑
Boiling point   the temperature at which a liquid boils.  
🗑
Calorie   amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius.  
🗑
Calorimeter   a device that measures changes in thermal energy  
🗑
Celsius scale   the temperature scale on which zero and 100 are the temperatures at which water freezes and boils.  
🗑
Change-of-state   a change from one state (solid or liquid or gas) to another without a change in chemical composition.  
🗑
Chemical Change   one or more substances break apart or combine to form a new substance  
🗑
Chemical Energy   potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together; for example, wood, wax, and food such as chocolate and broccoli store this  
🗑
Chernobyl   A place in Ukraine where a nuclear power plant – a generator powered by a nuclear reactor – underwent a meltdown in 1986.  
🗑
Combustion   Burning; a chemical reaction that involves the rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen to produce thermal energy.  
🗑
Condensation   the change from the gaseous to the liquid form of matter.  
🗑
Conduction   flow of heat energy from one molecule to the next; warmer particles passing some of their warmth onto cooler particles without the movement of matter itself.  
🗑
Conductor   a material that easily transfers heat between its particles.  
🗑
Contraction   when a substance loses heat energy, the molecules slow down, and the substance contracts to become smaller in size  
🗑
Convection   flow of energy/transfer of that that occurs when warm liquid or gas rises; particles move taking their heat with them  
🗑
Convection current   a current caused by the rising of heated fluid and sinking of cooled fluid.  
🗑
Crystalline Solid   the particles form regular, repeating patterns  
🗑


   

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.
