Energy transfers
  1. States of matter
    1. What is matter?
      1. Anything that is made up of Atoms and molecules
      2. Particle theory
        1. Solid
          1. Particles close together
          2. Liquid
            1. Particles further apart
            2. Gas
              1. Particles really far apart
            3. Melting
              1. The heat energy from the Bunsen burner is transferred to the particles as kinetic energy, which causes them to vibrate away from each other
              2. Evaporating
                1. Further energy being transferred causes the particles to fly really far apart from each other, making a gas
                2. Condensing
                  1. As the kinetic energy is lost, the particles cool and slow down to come back together as a liquid
                  2. Freezing
                    1. As the particles become completely still, they form a solid
                  3. Conduction and convection
                    1. A thermal conductor is a material that transfers heat easily
                      1. A thermal insulator is a material that does not, e.g. air
                      2. Conduction
                        1. Conduction is one of the ways that heat can be transferred, and only really happens in solids
                          1. Why is metal a good conductor?
                            1. The outer electrons of metal atoms drift, and are free to move
                        2. Radiation
                          1. All objects emit (give out) and absorb (take in) infrared radiation.
                            1. The hotter an object, the more infrared radiation it radiates in a given time.
                              1. Matte surfaces emit more radiation than shiny surfaces.
                                1. Dark surfaces emit more infrared radiation than light surfaces at the same temperature.
                                  1. Objects which have larger surface areas emit more infrared radiation than objects with smaller surface areas.
                                  2. Calculating energy efficiency
                                    1. Joules
                                      1. Energy is measured in Joules
                                        1. Joules per second (J/s) shows us how much energy is used over time
                                          1. 1 Joule per sec = 1 watt
                                      2. Watt Hours
                                        1. A 100w light bulb on for 1 hour will use 100 watt hours (wh) of electricity
                                          1. Or 0.1 kilowatt hours (kwh
                                            1. On an electricity bill, 1 unit of energy = 1 kilowatt hour
