What is another word for kinetic theory of heat?
Pronunciation: [kɪnˈɛtɪk θˈi͡əɹi ɒv hˈiːt] (IPA) 
The kinetic theory of heat refers to the scientific understanding that heat is a form of energy that results from the movement of molecules. Other synonyms for this theory include the molecular theory of heat, the kinetic-molecular theory of gases and the particle theory of heat. The basic principles of this theory state that the temperature of a substance is directly related to the average kinetic energy of its molecules, that the molecules of a substance have constant, random motion and that energy is conserved in the transfer of heat between substances. Understanding this theory has been critical in developing our understanding of thermodynamics, phase transitions, and other fundamental principles of physics.
