The source incorrectly gives a simplistic definition of 'temperature' as the definition of 'heat'
'''Heat''' is generated by the [[kinetic energy]] of a collection of interacting [[particle]]s. <ref>Chemistry Vocabulary: [http://misterguch.brinkster.net/vocabulary.html Heat]</ref> Heat is generally measured in [[joule]]s, though [[calorie]]s and [[BTU]]s are also used as units.
'''Heat''' is the transfer of [[energy]] generated by a [[temperature]] gradient. Heat is generally measured in [[joule]]s, though [[calorie]]s and [[BTU]]s are also used as units.
