Front

Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself in a process called

Back

conduction.

Front

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 kelvin is called its

Back

Front

The more particles an object has at a given temperature,

Back

the more thermal energy it has.
