Energy Vocab

2. Energy from EM radiation then radiates to the surrounding environment.
4. energy held due to position, stored energy.
7. -273 degrees C is OK, the point that all molecules stop moving.
8. Flow of thermal energy from hot to cold.
10. Neutrons combine and split releasing a chain reaction (nuclear power).
12. Kinetic energy that is visible to humans (ROYGBIV).
13. SI unit used to measure temperature; 0K or -273 degrees C is absolute O.
14. Mechanical energy moves as vibrations.
15. Matter changes from one state to another (solid, liquid, gas).
16. Measure of hot or cold expressed in Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin.
18. Energy stored by applying force (compression, stretching, or twisting).
19. Neutrons combine and split releasing a chain reaction (nuclear power).
20. The ability to do work (add force and move something)
21. Energy not easily made again: fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, petroleum, propane) and nuclear (fusion, fission)
24. Stored energy in the bonds of atoms.
25. The movement of electrons from one atom to another.
26. Heat energy is transmitted through two objects touching.

1. The movement of electrons from one atom to another.
3. Energy in the core of an atom.
5. Energy stored due to its height above the Earth.
6. Two nuclei combine to form a new nucleus (the sun).
9. Energy that is responsible for its temperature.
11. Heat energy is conducted to the point of heat first then in circular motion throughout (water, air).
17. Energy easily made again: solar, wind, hydro (water), geothermal, biomass
22. Heat energy is emitted through EM radiation through air or space.
23. energy of motion.
