- heat
- thermal energy that is transferred from matter at a higher temperature to matter at a lower temperature
- temperature
- the measure of the kinetic energy of the particles in matter
- conduction
- the transfer of heat from one particle of matter to another
- boiling
- vaporization that occurs on and below the surface of liquid
- state
- one of three forms-solid, liquid, or gas in which most matter on Earth exists
- thermal expansion
- expansion of matter when it is heated
- condensation
- change form the gaseous to the liquid state of matter
- convection
- transfer of heat by the movement of currents within a fluid
- melting
- change from the solid to the liquid state of matter
- fherenheit
- the temperature scale that on wich water boils at 212% f and frezzes at 32% f
- specific heat
- the amont of heat required to raise the temperatuure 1 kilogram of a material by 1 kelvin unit
- evaporation
- vaporization that occurs at the surface of liquid
- change of state
- physical change of matter from one state to another
- insulator
- material that does not condut heat well
- conductor
- material that conducts heat well
- celius scale
- the temperature scale the wart frezzes at 0% f andboils at 100 %f
- freezing
- change form the liquid to the solid state of matter
- absolute zero
- temperature at which no more energy can be remove from matter
- radiation
- transfer of energy by electromagnetic wave
- kelvin scale
- temperature scale on which zero is the temperature at which no more energy can be removed form matter
- convection current
- current caused by the rising of heated fluid and sinking of colled fluid
