Document Summary

There are three different types of motion for atoms and molecules. Translation: the whole molecule moves from place to place. Vibration: the molecule changes shapes - the bonds literally stretch, bend, and rotates in order to vibrate around the equilibrium. There are three different phases that atoms/molecules exist in collisions) collisions) Gas phase: they are separated by large distances (long travel between. Liquid phase: they are closer together (can"t travel very far between. Temperature: the average kinetic energy of the atoms in a material. Celsius/centigrade: uses a standard of 0 c (freezing point of water and. Fahrenheit: uses a standard of absolute zero , which means 0 f is the coldest substance that exists. From there, the freezing point of water is. 32 f, and the boiling point of water is 212 f. Heat: the thermal energy that is transferred from one object to another. There are four ways that heat transfer takes place.
