Heat and States of Matter

Heating can cause melting and cooling can cause freezing. Heat transfers from warmer regions to cooler regions.

What to remember

  • Melting changes solid to liquid.
  • Freezing changes liquid to solid.
  • Melting/freezing can be reversible.
  • Heat transfers warmer to cooler.
  • Temperature describes hotness/coldness.

Key words

melting — solid to liquid
freezing — liquid to solid
heat transfer — energy moving due to temperature difference
temperature — measure related to hot/cold
state — physical form of matter
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.
