Chapter 6: Heat - Corryn Willson

2. A measure of the hotness or coldness of substances, related to the average translational kinetic energy per molecule in a substance.
4. The transfer of thermal energy by molecular and electronic collisions within a substance (especially within a solid).
8. The study of heat and its transformation into different forms of energy.
9. The amount of heat needed to change the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree.
10. The measure of the energy dispersal of a system.

1. The transfer of energy by means of electromagnetic waves.
3. The lowest possible temperature that a substance may have—the temperature at which molecules of the substance have their minimum kinetic energy.
5. energy The total energy (kinetic plus potential) of the submicroscopic particles that make up a substance.
6. The thermal energy that flows from a substance of higher temperature to a substance of lower temperature, commonly measured in calories or joules.
7. The transfer of thermal energy in a gas or liquid by means of currents in the heated fluid. The fluid flows, carrying energy with it.
