2.2 Thermal properties and temperature
  1. 2.2.1 Thermal expansion of solids, liquids and gases
    1. describe qualitatively the thermal expansion of solids, liquids and gases at constant pressure
      1. explain, in terms of the motion and arrangement of molecules, the relative order of the magnitude of the expansion of solids, liquids and gases
        1. identify and explain some of the everyday applications and consequences of thermal expansion
        2. 2.2.2 Measurement of temperature
          1. appreciate how a physical property that varies with temperature may be used for the measurement of temperature, and state examples of such properties
            1. demonstrate understanding of sensitivity, range and linearity
              1. recognise the need for and identify fixed points
                1. describe the structure of a thermocouple

                  Annotations:

                  • and show understanding of its use as a thermometer for measuring high temperatures and those that vary rapidly
                  1. describe and explain the structure and action of liquid-in-glass thermometers

                    Annotations:

                    • and explain how its structure relates to its sensitivity, range and linearity
                  2. 2.2.3 Thermal capacity (heat capacity)
                    1. relate a rise in the temperature of a body to an increase in its internal energy
                      1. give a molecular account of an increase in internal energy
                      2. show an understanding of what is meant by the thermal capacity of a body
                        1. recall and use the equation thermal capacity = mc
                        2. define specific heat capacity
                          1. describe an experiment to measure the specific heat capacity of a substance
                            1. recall and use the equation change in energy = mc(delta)T

                              Annotations:

                              • the word delta should be shown as a small triangle It means "change in" in this context it means change in temperature
                          2. 2.2.4 Melting and boiling
                            1. describe melting and boiling

                              Annotations:

                              • in terms of energy input without a change in temperature
                              1. distinguish between boiling and evaporation
                              2. state the meaning of melting point and boiling point
                                1. describe condensation and solidification in terms of molecules
                                  1. use the terms latent heat of vaporisation and latent heat of fusion and give a molecular interpretation of latent heat
                                    1. define specific latent heat
                                      1. describe an experiment to measure specific latent heats for steam and for ice
                                        1. recall and use the equation energy = ml
