Insulator

Front

A material that allows charges to be easily transmitted through them.

Back

Exothermic Reaction

Front

Energy is released into the surroundings as heat and the temperature of the surroundings increases.

Back

Freezing

Front

The conversion of a liquid to a solid.

Back

Triple Point

Front

The temperature at which a solid, a liquid, and a gas can coexist.

Back

Charles' Law

Front

This law states that when the pressure of a gas is held constant, the temperature and volume are directly proportional.

Back

Boiling Point of Water in °C

Front

100°C

Back

Melting

Front

The conversion of a solid to a liquid.

Back

Temperature

Front

A measure of how hot or cold a substance is.

Back

Solid

Front

The state of matter characterized by a definite volume, a definite shape, and particles that vibrate in place.

Back

Conductor

Front

A material that allows charges to be easily transmitted through them.

Back

Back

Q=mcΔT

Front

The formula for heat transfer.

Back

Deposition

Front

The conversion of a gas to a solid, skipping the liquid state.

Back

Radiation

Front

The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

Back

Boyle's Law

Front

This law states that when the temperature of a gas is held constant, the volume and pressure are inversely proportional.

Back

Endothermic Reaction

Front

Energy is absorbed from the surroundings and the temperature of the surroundings decreases.

Back

Sublimation

Front

The conversion of a solid to a gas, skipping the liquid state.

Back

Kinetic Energy

Front

The energy of mass in motion.

Back

Condensation

Front

The conversion of a gas to a liquid.

Back

Back

Heat

Front

The energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures.

Back

Liquid

Front

The state of matter characterized by a definite volume, an indefinite shape, and particles that move around each other.

Back

Thermal Expansion

Front

The tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.
