  • WHat is temperature?
    The measurement of the internal movement of the particles in a substance
  • What was William Thomson's scale called?
    Kelvin temperature scale or absolute scale
  • What are the characterisitcs of particles in solids?
    They are very close to each other, and they forces of attraction between them are very intense. Particles are fixed.
  • What happens to the shape and voume of a liquid when you take it from one recipient and put it into another?
    the liquid will change shape to adapt to the shape of its new recipient, but its voume will stay constant.
  • What its called when liquid turns into vapor?
    Vaporisation
  • What happens to the shape and voume of a solid when you take it from one recipient and put it into another?
    its shape and voume will stay the same.
  • What happes at the same temperature that ice melts?
    water freezes.
  • What are the characterstics of the particles in gases?
    The particles are farher apart and the forces of attraction very weak. They can move freely.
  • Whats is called when a solid turns into a liquid?
    Fusion
  • What is the opposite of a heating curve?
    A cooling curve
  • What Is the bioling point of gold?
    2856 degrees C
  • What are the characterstics of the particles in liquids?
    the particles are relatively close and the force of attraction is less intense than in solids. Particles are more mobile.
  • What is the representation of temperature and time on a graph called?
    A heating curve
  • When a temperature starts to change its state, the temperature remains the same until when?
    Until the transformation is completed
