Question

A substance used for producing heat energy is known as..?

Answer 1

Matter is made up of atoms and molecules (groupings of atoms) andenergy causes the atoms and molecules to always be in motion - either bumping into each other or vibrating back and forth. The motion of atoms and molecules creates a form of energy called heat or thermal energy which is present in all matter.

All matter contains heat energy. Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. Thetransfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects is called heat.
