What is the partical theroy?
100
one of the states or phases of matter.
What is a solid?
100

the most common scale for measuring temperatures.
What is the celsuis scale?
200
energy that particals or an object has due to its motion
What is kinetic energy?
200
has a specific size or shape or volume but not a specfic shape.
What is a liquid?
200
a graph that demonstrates the changing of states of a substance by plotting temperature versus time.
What is a heating curve?
200
is the process in which a warm liquid or gas moves from one place to another,carrying heat with it.

What is a thermogram?
400
anything that takes up space or has mass.
What is matter?
400
the volume of an object or substance increases when the temperature incraeses.
What is thermal expansion?
400
the change from any of the three states (solid,liquid,gas)to any other state.
What is changes of state?
400
patterns of movement where warm gas or liquid rises and cooler gas or liquid falls to replace it.

500
is temperture.
What is average kinetic energy?
500
applies to the reduction in volume with a decrease in temperature.
What is thermal contraction?
500
the process in which a solid changes directly into water vapour.
What is sublimation?
500
A kind of radiation including visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, and X-rays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously.
What is electromagnetic radiation?
