When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heatflows from the hotter to the cooler object. Heat is energy on the move. 
Units of heat are units of energy. The SI unit of energy is Joule. Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

Why do molecular compounds have low melting points and low boiling points relative to ionic substances??

Natali5045456 [20]

Because molecular bonds are not as strong as ionic bonds, they require less energy (heat) to break apart. This translate to less heat being required to move from one state to the next (melting, boiling, freezing, condensing) and thus a lower melting and boiling point.

How do you dispose a permanent glue?

const2013 [10]

Answer:

If you have the time you can take it to a Waste Management Facility.

Explanation:

Because these unhardened glues are flammable, do not dispose of them in the trash or down the drain. Keep them away from open flames. If the glue is water-based, solidify it and throw it in the trash.
