Particles, tightly packed together. Vibrate around a fixed position.

Liquid
Particles, still attached together, can move about freely.
4 of 12
Gas
Particles are free and can randomly move in any direction.
5 of 12
Conduction
Occurs mainly in solids. If one end is heated, then the particles gain more kinetic energy and vibrate more. This energy is transferred to the other particles.
6 of 12
Convection
Occurs in fluids. When a fluid is heated it expands and becomes less dense and rises upwards. When this happens, the cooler, denser fluid comes underneath and replaces it.
7 of 12
Evaporation
When a liquid is heated, the most energetic molecules leave the surface and become a gas.
8 of 12
Condensation
When a gas comes into contact with a colder surface it turns back into a liquid.
9 of 12
Energy Transfer By Design
Energy transfer increases when the temperature change increases also.

Specific Heat Capacity
The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of something by 1°C
11 of 12
U-Value
Tells us how much energy can pass through a substance in a second. Gives an indication of how good a substance is an insulator.
