Heat is not an internal property of matter (temperature is!), heat is just a way to change the temperature of an object... it is a flow of energy.
Think of it this way, before you study for a physics test you have a certain level of understanding physics. While you read your text book (or wiki answers) you are studying (understanding is flowing into your head) and afterward you (hopefully) have a greater understanding of physics. Although "studying" went into you, you do not have a certain amount of "study" inside of you before or after, you had an amount of understanding.
In that analogy, "studying" represents heat and "understanding of physics" represents temperature. Heat is just a way to change temperature and therefore you cannot say that matter contains heat!

What state of matter is a flame considered as?
A flame is not a substance like water or air. Rather, it is the result of heat and light energy so you can't really say what state of matter it is in. Think of it like this; asking what state of matter a flame is in would be like asking what state of matter light or heat are in. They are forms of energy, not substances.
How does burning flames produce heat?
it goes with the transfer of energy. if you take lets say a match and strike it you transfer mechanil from arm movement to heat and sound energy the actual match contains chemical energy.
Why is it incorrect to say that air bubbles form in boiling water?
Because it just does
Heat makes the particles in matter move how?
Heat is the average kinetic energy of something. When you increase the heat, you make the particles in the substance move faster. It would be more correct to say that particles moving in a liquid (or any substance rather) cause heat. So increasing heat causes particles in a liquid to move faster. Hope that helps.
How do you know if soap contains animal fat?
you have to look on the bottle and it will say does not contain animal fat and if it doesn't say that then it contains animal fat
Why is it incorrect to say that an object has heat?
because not all objects have heat and because the heat is coming from your hands
What song contains the lyrics no matter what you say no matter what you've done?
No Matter What - Israel ft Lil Wayne
Does microwave gives out heat?
It would be more accurate to say that microwaves can be converted to heat. A microwave oven is designed speicifically to heat water, or anything that contains water.
How do you say to be incorrect in French?
To be incorrect is avoir faute
What is a material that contains one type of matter?
I think you are a little confused, or I'm not understanding your question. All material is matter. So you can't really say something contains matter. You can't really have "types" of matter either. If you can rephrase your question, I can try and help you better. =D
We say she has or she have?
you cannot say "he have" this is incorrect, it is " he has"
Is it grammatically incorrect to say sister and sister Or just sisters?
It is grammatically incorrect to say sister and sister. You just say sisters.
Why is heat transfer by direct contact of particles of matter to conduction?
That's a definition, not a question per-say.
Is it incorrect grammar to say these ones?
Yes, the correct way to say it is "these." "Ones" is unnecessary in this context.
Is the Miami Heat going to win game 6?
Yes, and they are also going to win the 2013 championship encore.

What form of energy is the air?
Even though there is energy in almost anything, air is not usually considered to be a source or storage of energy.Anything solid, liquid, or gaseous has heat energy.Note: It is incorrect to say that air IS energy; rather, it HAS energy, in this case, heat energy.
