What is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance.

Heat

What is the measurement of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance

Temperature

Does Temperature depend on the size or type of the object

NO!

Is Temperature energy?

No it is a measure of it.

Heat is ______.

energy

The heat of fusion and heat of vaporization is what?

thermal energy

If a higher temperature object is in contact with a lower temp. one, heat transfers to the lower one. What is that called

Thermal equilibrium

What is conduction?

the movement of one molecule to another , it needs direct contact and heat flows from a higher temp. area to a lower temp. one.

The movement of heat by currents in liquids or gases, circulation through a fluid and cool air sinks down while warmer air rises to the top is called what?

Convection

Radiation is what?

energy movement through electromagnetic waves, a way in which energy is transferred from place to place in the form of waves.

Define specific heat.

The amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temp. of 1 g. of a substance 10 C.

Know the 3 states of matter and be able to identify them

solid
liquid
gas

A theory that defines thermal energy as a substance that flowed from hot bodies into cold bodies.

Caloric theory

Define thermal energy.

the total energy of the particles in an object related to the motion of the molecules or ions in matter.

Know the differences between temperature and thermal energy.

Temp-measures the average kinetic energy of an objects particles.
Thermal energy measures the total energy of all the particles in an object.

Know the differencr between the heat of fusion and heat of vaporization.

Heat of fusion is: the amount of thermal energy needed to change a substance from solid to liquid.
Heat of vaporization: the amount of thermal energy needed to change a substance from its liquid phase to gaseous phase.

An increase in the volume of a substance caused by the addition of thermal energy is what?

thermal expansion

Why are calories important to a person's diet:

Daily requirements of calories for health reasons.

Degrees are what

Unit for Temperature

increases
rises

What energy is the total energy of the particles in a material?

Thermal energy

What three things can heat be?

1) transferred from one object to another.
2)can be stored
3) used to keep us warm in freezing temperatures.
