Fluids: The state of
matter
Vaccum: Empty space
Electromagnetic waves:
Group of waves that
have the same speed as
light
Emitters: Medium that
transfers heat
Absorbers: Medium that
absorbs heat
Radiation
Shiny/matte:
Appearance of
materials depending on
how they reflect light
Dark/bright colors:
Colors based on how
much light they absorb
and reflect
Rough/smooth:
Outward layer of the
material, bumpiness
Density: Mass per unit
volume of a substance
Expand : The process
that allows particles to
fill up empty space,
when heated particles
move faster allowing
for expansion
Contraction: The
process that allows
particles to be limited
Convection in space
Sink: Particles with
lower temperature sink
to the bottom of the
container
Rise: Particles with
higher thermal energy
that rise to the top
Current: Group of
particles that change
position or flow of
particles depending on
Transfer of energy whether they are warm
or cold
Conductors : Materials that can conduct
electricity and heat because of free
electrons
Insulators: Materials
that can conduct heat
and electricity at a
slower pace
Free-electron diffusion:
Dissemination of
electrons that can
Conduction
easily change their
place in metals
Molecular vibrations:
Constant motion of
particles inside a
molecule
Free-electrons:
Electrons that are not
bound by an external
force
