Definition
The transfer of thermal energy |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
transfer of energy because of the location of object to a heat source Example: a metal spoon heating up in a pot |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the transfer of energy in a liquid or gas through a current, hot material rises because its less dense, cooler material sinks because its more dens; example: a pot of boiling water |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
A point where there is no more energy is the system and all movement of the molecules has stopped |
|
|
Term
Three methods of heat transfer |
|
Definition
Convection, Conduction, Radiation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
A material that transfers heat and thermal energy well; ex: metals |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
A material that does not transfer heat or thermal energy well; ex. wood, wool, cotton, cork |
|
|
Term
|

Definition
How much energy is required to raise the temperature of a substance |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Heats up quickly, requires very little energy |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Heats up slowly, requires a lot of energy |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Atoms are very spread out and move around a bunch; has lots of energy; no definite shape or volume |
|
|
Term
Why do substances have phase changes? |
|
Definition
They gain or lose thermal energy which rearranges the particles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
From a liquid to a solid, energy is LOST |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Atoms are packed close together and just vibrate in place; very little energy; has a definite shape and volume |
|

Definition
the process of a substance expanding when being heated |
|
|
Term
What happens to temperature through a state change? |
|
Definition
The temperature does not change, the thermal energy is just rearranging the atoms/molecules |
|
