heat - energy transferred due to a difference in temperature, temperature - a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object, phase change - a change in state eg. from liquid to gas, specificheatcapacity - the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius or Kelvin., latent heat - the heat required to change the state of a substance at its melting or boiling point without a change in temperature, latentheatoffusion - the amount of energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid without changing its temperature, vaporisation - Latent heat of ___: the amount of energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas, absolute zero - the theoretical lowest possible temperature, where all motion of particles stops. -273°C or 0K, Thermal Equilibrium - when two substances in physical contact with each other do not exchange heat energy; the two substances are at the same temperature, Inference - a conclusions based on known facts, observation or evidence, Convection - the transfer of energy through the movement of the cooler more dense fluids displacing less dense warmer fluids, Conduction - where heat energy is transferred by the collision of particles, Radiation - the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves, Conductor - a material that conducts heat well, Insulator - a material that conducts heat poorly,
