II. True or False. Write ALPHA before each number if the statement is
correct and BRAVO if it is incorrect.

1. Heat is a transfer of energy

2. Temperature refers to the average kinetic energy per molecule of a
substance.
3. Thermometer is device that measure temperature
4. Heat conduction occurs because of the collisions among the molecules
within the system
5. Metals are good conductors of heat.
6. Convection is the process of transferring heat through the motion of
i

molecules of solids.
 7. When expansion occurs, the volume of the water decreases and the water
becomes more dense.

8. Conduction occurs in the atmosphere which causes different weather

conditions.

9. A cold object radiates more electromagnetic energy.

10. The faster the molecular movement, the less radiation is produced and the
less heat is transferred to other objects.
