Describe the three temperature scales used in the laboratory and in everyday life: theFahrenheit scale, the Celsius scale, and the Kelvin scale

Fahrenheit Scale: This is a temperature scale that is primarily used in the United States. The freezing point of water on this scale is 32 degrees, while the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing 180 degrees between freezing and boiling. It was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a German physicist, in the early 18th century.

Celsius Scale: Also known as the centigrade scale, this temperature scale is used worldwide for most temperature measurements in scientific communities. It is an SI derived unit. On this scale, 0 degrees is the freezing point of water, and 100 degrees is the boiling point, making it a 100-degree difference between freezing and boiling. It was named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius.

Kelvin Scale: This is the primary unit of temperature measurement in the physical sciences. It is the only temperature scale to start at absolute zero, the point at which all molecular motion ceases. The Kelvin scale uses the same incremental scale as the Celsius scale, meaning a change of 1.00 K is the same as a change of 1.00 C. However, the Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is -273.15 degrees Celsius. This scale was named after the Scottish physicist and engineer William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin.
