Mo5-L3a: What is the Effect of Temperature and Energy on Matter?

Thermal Energy
SUMMARY
Thermal energy is the total potential and kinetic What is the Effect of Temperature and Energy on
energy of an object. Matter?

You can change an object’s state of matter by adding All matter has thermal energy, and thermal
or removing thermal energy. energy is the sum of potential and kinetic
energy.
If enough thermal energy is added or removed from
an object, a change of state can occur.
Thermal Energy
Temperature
and Heat

How Does Matter Change From
Mo5-L3b One State to Another?

KEY CONCEPTS:
1. Describe the changes in thermal energy as water
goes from a solid to a liquid.
Key Concept

What is the Effect of Temperature and
Energy on Matter?
How do temperature and thermal energy differ? Vocabulary A-Z
Let us learn some vocabulary

Vaporization

is the change in state of a liquid into a gas.

Evaporation
is vaporization that occurs only at the surface of a
liquid.

Bubbles cannot Bubbles can form and rise
form since the vapor since the vapor pressure
pressure is less than can overcome atmosphere
atmospheric pressure pressure.
