Is heat a chemical

Answer 1

NO!!!

Heat is NOT a material.

Heat is radiation.

In the electro-magnetic waveband, electro-magnetic (E/M) radiation is in the long wave (microwave region). The E/M wave 'hit' the material object and make the molecules in the object vibrate more violently, This increase in vibration is felt as heat.

Also in the E/M wavebands is the region of 'white' light, that which we see. The wavelength is shorter. The E/M waves strike the back of the eye (retina) making the molecules in the retina vibrate faster, and stimulate the optic nerve to respond to the brain . This is the light that we see.

Other forms of E/M radiation from shortest to longest wave length are :-

Cosmic, X-ray, UV Rays, White light, Infra-Red, Microwaves, Radiowaves.

Answer 2

Heat is a form of energy, it is disorganized kinetic energy on the atomic and molecular scale. The faster those little particles bounce around, the warmer it is... In solids they are in free motion like in fluids (liquids and gases etc..) But they still move, they are like vibrating jello, it keeps moving but it also holds itself together ( ok so jello wasn't the best analogy but it works..)

Another Answer

The original answer describes internal energy, notheat. Heat is defined as energy in transit between a warmer body and a cooler body. You could say, therefore, that heat is a 'form' of energy in the same way that 'rain' is a form of water.

Answer 3

No, but they once thought it was.
True.

Einstein proved it e=mc2.

Heat is energy, substance is mass.

Answer 4

heat is an energy that can be created by chemical reactions, but can also be used as a catalyst to make other chemical reactions take place.

Answer 5

No, that is a disproven belief.

Heat is a form of energy.

Answer 6

Heat is not a substance because it is not matter, it's a form of energy.

Answer 7

Heat is a form of energy and not a chemical substance. When a chemical reaction occurs, heat can be either absorbed or released, but it is not considered a chemical in itself.

Answer 8

No, heat is a form of energy.
