The thermal properties of matter describe how materials respond to changes in temperature and how they absorb, transfer, and release heat.
Heat and temperature are related but different concepts. Temperature indicates the degree of hotness of a body, while heat is a form of energy transferred due to temperature difference.
When heat is supplied to a body, it may cause:
