New cards

conduction

the process of transferring heat or electricity through a material due to the movement of free electrons.

4
New cards

insulation

the process of preventing heat or electricity from being transferred through a material by reducing the movement of electrons.

non-permanent deformation when pressure is applied

29
New cards

thermal expansion coefficient

the value of how much a material expands when heated.

30
New cards

the type of atoms and how they are arranged

what determines materials’ properties ?
