A | B |
heat | KE of molecules |
convection | heat transfer in gases & liquids |
conduction | heat transfer- direct contact |
radiation | heat tranfer-waves-through vacuum of space |
insulator | slows down heat transfer |
conductor | allows heat to transfer easily |
temperature | measurement of heat |
Kelvin | absolute zero temp. scale |
Celsius | scale used in most of world |
Fahrenheit | scale used in US |
matter | anything w/ mass & volume |
density | amount of mass per unit volume |
solid | molecules move slowly/packed tight |
liquid | molecules more free/ flow/ more KE |
gas | molecules move very freely/much KE/can be compressed |
boiling | liquid-gas phase change |
condensation | gas-liquid phase change |
freezing | liquid-solid phase change |
melting | solid-liquid phase change |
sublimation | solid-gas or gas-solid phase change |
