States of Matter Vocabulary

• Molecule- a group  of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound
• State of Matter- is one of the four distinct forms that matter take on
• Liquid- is a substance with a definite volume but not a definite shape.
• Gas- is a substance that does not have a definite volume or shape.
• Solid- is a substance with a definite volume and shape. Particles are close together and do not move freely
• Plasma-  a state of matter (in fact the most common state of matter) made from a gas that has lost its electrons from heat

Topic: Thermal Energy/ Heat Transfer
Home Learning: Students will study vocabulary, notes, and complete assignments not finished during class. 

Thermal Energy/Heat Transfer Vocabulary

• Temperature- measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
• Heat- transfer of thermal energy between substances that are at different temperatures
• Heat Transfer- transfer of heat through convection, conduction, and radiation
• Conduction- transfer of heat  from a warmer substance to a cooler substance through direct contact
• Radiation- transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
• Convection- transfer of heat through fluids in a circular motion
• Thermal Energy- total amount of kinetic energy contained in the particles of a substance
• Equilibrium- heat flowing through objects until they reach the same temperature
• Specific Heat-the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount 
• Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy can't be created nor destroyed only transferred or transformed
