States of Matter
This state of matter typically retains its shape and the particles are tightly compressed
What is a solid
This type of heat transfer happens in SOLIDS and results from energy being transferred when particles bump into each other
What is Conduction
This state of matter does not conform to the shape of the container. The particles are loosely packed and have the ability to move around freely.
What is a gas
This type of heat transfer happens in liquids and gases. There is a current that allows the warm particles to rise and cooler particles to sink closer to the heat source
What is Convection
This state of matter conforms to the shape of the container. The particles are closely packed but have the ability to move around.
What is liquid
This type of heat transfer happens through waves in empty space
What is Radiation
Materials that allow for the easy transfer of heat (ex: metals)
What is Conductors
In order for something to be matter, it must have these two components
What is mass and takes up space
The measure of how hot or cold something is.
What is Temperature
When you add energy to a liquid, what happens to the particles?
What is particles move faster
Frost on the windowpane is formed through this process.
What is Deposition
Units for heat and temperature.
What is
Heat: Calories or joules
Temperature: Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin
Materials that resist the transfer of heat
What is Insulators
