Physical quantity that expresses the hotness or coldness of an object or a system. It is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up the object or system.
Heat
Temperature
Pressure
Volume
Is defined as the force exerted by the molecules of a matter on the walls of the container in which it is contained. The pressure is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules and their number density.

Is defined as the total space occupied by the total amount of molecules. Is a measure of the physical size of the container in which the matter is contained.

Is the tendency of materials to change in volume, length, or shape in response to a change in temperature. When materials are heated, their particles begin to move more quickly and occupy a larger space, leading to an increase in volume or length.
Sensible heat
Latent heat
Heat
Thermal expansion
Is defined as the transfer of energy from a hotter object to a colder object, resulting in a temperature change.
Latent heat
Sensible heat
Heat
Thermal expansion
It refers to the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance without changing its temperature. During a phase change, the energy added or removed from the substance goes towards breaking or forming intermolecular bonds between the molecules rather than increasing or decreasing the kinetic energy of the substance.
Latent heat
Thermal expansion
Heat
Sensible heat
Is the heat transfer associated with a change in temperature of a substance without any phase change. In other words, it is the heat transferred when the temperature of a substance changes, but it remains in the same phase.
Thermal expansion
Sensible heat
Heat
Latent heat
Transfer mechanism of heat between objects in direct contact, such as a metal spoon placed in a hot cup of coffee. In this process, heat is transferred from the hotter object to the cooler one by the transfer of kinetic energy between the molecules of the objects.
Convection
Radiation
Conduction
Advection
Transfer mechanism of heat through the motion of fluids, such as air or water. When a fluid is heated, its density decreases and it rises, while cooler, denser fluid sinks. This creates a “circular” motion which transfers heat from one location to another.
Radiation
Advection
Conduction
Convection
Transfer mechanism of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as the heat we feel from the sun or a fire. In this process, heat energy is emitted from a hotter object in the form of electromagnetic waves and is absorbed by cooler objects. Does not require a medium to transfer heat and can occur through a vacuum.

Advection
This law of thermodynamics states that if two objects are in thermal equilibrium with a third object, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This means that if you touch two objects and they feel the same temperature, and each of these objects is also in thermal equilibrium with a third object, then all three objects are at the same temperature.
Zeroth law
First law
Second law
Third law
This law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred, or transformed. This means that the total amount of energy in a system remains constant, even if the energy is transferred from one object to another or transformed into a different form of energy.
Zeroth law
First law
Second law
Third law
This law of thermodynamics states that in any energy transfer or transformation, the total entropy of a closed system always increases over time. This means that energy tends to spread out and become more disordered over time, and that it is impossible to convert all heat energy into work without some of it being lost as waste heat.
