Energy Transfers: Particles Flashcards
A metal is a….
Good conductor of energy
Ehat is it called when energy is transferred very quickly?
Conduction
Ehat can energy be transferred by?
Conduction, convection and radiation
How do particles trasnfer energy in conduction?
By colliding with other particles when they vibrate
Name some porr conductors?
Wood, non-metals
Heat is it called when something isnt a good conductor?
An insulator
What is an insulator?
They are bad condcutors at all that energy is transferred very slowly
Are liquids good or bad conductors?
Bad
Why do gases not conduct well at all?
There particles are much further apart than solids
Convection using soup:
The soup that is in constct with the bottom of the saucepan get hotter so the particles move faster
The particles in the hotter soup move further apart, so the soup becomes less dense.
The hotter soup rises and the coller. Denser soup takes its place
Ehat is that process using soup called?
Convection current
