Temperature and Molecular Motion

Infiltration

• Downward movement of water through soil.
• measure of heat or how fast molecules are moving
• when water in the form of ice, rain, sleet, hail, or snow, falls to Earth
• coming together

Temperature

• measure of heat or how fast molecules are moving
• the coldest possible temperature.
• water vapor cools and becomes a liquid
• A molecule composed of one kind of atom; cannot be broken into simpler units- ex hydrogen, helium, gold

Absolute zero

• the coldest possible temperature.
• energy of motion.
• water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back
• A large, reddish star late in its life cycle

Kinetic energy

• energy of motion.
• temperature scale that is measured from absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.

Molecule

• a particle made of two or more atoms.

• temperature scale on which water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees

• two or more atoms held together- a water molecule is two hydrogens atoms and one oxygen atom

• A molecule composed of one kind of atom; cannot be broken into simpler units- ex hydrogen, helium, gold

Fahrenheit Scale

• temperature scale on which water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees

• temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees

• temperature scale that is measured from absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.

• the simplest, lightest, and most common element

Celsius Scale

• temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees

• temperature scale that is measured from absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature.

• Downward movement of water through soil.

• temperature scale on which water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees

thermometer

• An instrument used to measure temperature
• The motion of atoms in an object, also is determined by the temperature
• All the water on earth
• smallest unit of matter
