Released, formed, distance, decreases
Heating changes of state ___________ energy to _________ ________, while cooling changes of state ___________ energy in the ______________ ____ _______.
Require, break bonds, release, formation of bonds
If two objects are in thermal contact for long enough, they will eventually reach the ________ _________________ (__________ _________________).
Same temperature, thermal equilibrium
Matter commonly exists in three states: ________, ________, and _____.
Solid, liquid, gas
Conduction occurs in:
Solids, liquids and gases
Solid to gas:
Sublimation
Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to _________________.
Temperature

Fahrenheit is defined by:
The blood temperature of a living human (100˚F)
Thermal energy is:
The combined potential energy and kinetic energy that is due to the vibration of particles within an object.
Specific heat capacity is:
The heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degree Kelvin.
Latent heat is:
The heat energy that is absorbed/released during a change of state
Convection occurs in:
Liquids and gases only, as particles in solids are locked in place
The change in temperature depends on the _________ of the object (____), the amount of ________ _______________ to or from the object (____), and the nature of the _____________ (its ____________ ________ ______, ____).
Mass, m, heat transferred, Q, material, specific heat capacity, c
Solid to liquid:
Melting
The amount of latent heat required (____) depends upon the _________ of the substance (________ ______ ___________, ____) and the ______ of the substance (___).
Q, nature, latent heat capacity, L, mass, m
____________ is the only way heat can flow in a vacuum.
Radiation
An example of convection involves:
A burner heating a liquid: The liquid at the bottom gets heated and becomes less dense (particles are more spread out), and this liquid rises, displacing more dense liquid to the bottom where it is heated: forms a convection current
An example of conduction involves:
A candle heating a wire: The flame supplies thermal energy to the particles closest to it, and these particles vibrate faster, which causes neighbouring particles to vibrate faster: thermal energy is thus transferred along the object
Temperature is:
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
Energy can be added to or removed from a system without causing a _________ ____ _____. The energy that is added or removed causes a _________ ________ ______________.
Change of state, change in temperature
Gas to liquid:
Condensation
A good ____________ allows the transfer of thermal energy to occur easily, while a good _______________ does not allow the transfer of thermal energy to occur easily.
Conductor, insulator
Gas to solid:
Deposition
Temperature determines the _______________ of thermal energy transfer between two objects in thermal contact.

Most solids, liquids and gases _________ when heated.
Expand
Liquid to solid:
Freezing

Heat is:
The thermal energy that is absorbed, released or transferred between objects.
Radiation is:
The transfer of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature by means of electromagnetic waves/light
Conduction is:
The transfer of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature by particle collision and without the transfer of matter
Convection is:
The transfer of thermal energy in a fluid from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature by the mass movement of particles themselves.
