| A | B |
|---|
| Thermal Energy | total amount of kinetic energy present in a substance |
| Kinetic Energy | motion of atoms and molecules |
| Factors of Thermal Energy | temperature, type of material, and mass |
| Temperature and Kinetic Energy | the more motion/kinetic energy, the higher the temperature |
| Solid definition | atoms are closely held together, very little movement, lowest kinetic energy |
| Properties of a solid | holds its own shape, no flow, not easy to compress |
| Liquid definition | increased movement of atoms and kinetic energy |
| Liquid properties | Holds shape of its container, flows, easier to compress |
| Gas definition | Highest kinetic energy, most movement of molecules |
| Properties of a gas | Fills a container, easily compressed |
| Gains in thermal energy | Increases in temperature and movement of molecules |
| Phase Changes with gains | melting, evaporation, and sublimation |
| Losses in thermal energy | Decrease in temperature and movement of molecules |
| Phase Changes with losses | Deposition, condensation, and freezing |
| Temperature during phase change | Does not change, flat line on graph |
