Thermal Energy 1
This is the lowest possible temperature at which all molecular motion stops.
What is absolute zero?
The temperature at which the particles have sufficient molecular motion to exist in a gas is this.
What is the boiling point?
The state of matter with the second lowest energy is this.
What is liquid?
This temperature scale is often used by chemists and physicists.
What is the Kelvin scale?
A temperature scale that is based upon the idea that all molecular motion stops at absolute zero is this.
What is the Kelvin scale?
The temperature at which the particles have sufficient molecular motion to exist in a liquid is this.
What is the melting point?
All the kinetic energy of the molecules in an object is known as this.
What is thermal energy?
The energy that flows as a result of a temperature difference is known as this.
What is heat?
Heat has this unit.
What is Joules?
The measurement of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules in an object is known as this.
What is temperature?
The state of matter with the lowest energy is this.
What is solid?
The state of matter with the second highest energy is this.
What is gas?
A temperature scale that is based upon the phase change properties of water is this.
What is the Celsius scale?
Which has more thermal energy? A 2ftx4ftx1ft ice sculpture or a lit match? Explain.
What is the ice sculpture. Since the ice sculpture has more mass and molecules, it contains more thermal energy than the match. Even though the lit match is hotter, is has significantly less particles, and lower thermal energy.
A device used to measure temperature is known as this.
What is a thermometer?
The lowest temperature at which the particles are able to exist in liquid form is called this.
What is the melting point?
