EXPLANATION
The zeroth and first laws of thermodynamics are known statements, as well as the definition of thermal equilibrium, so there is nothing to explain about these three.
Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy. It is "generated" by the vibrations of the molecules or atoms that form the object, causing the object to increase its temperature. As a result, the temperature is the average kinetic energy of these particles.
Absolute zero is a temperature of 0 degrees Kelvin - approximately -273 degrees Celsius. When an object reaches this particular temperature it is considered as if the object has "no temperature" - that is why it is called absolute zero. As explained above, the temperature is the average kinetic energy of the object's particles, so if the particles have no kinetic energy, then the object has zero temperature.
Heat conductivity and thermal resistance are basically opposites. The first is the object's ability to conduct heat while the second is the ability to resist the conduction of heat.
Radiation and Conduction are two ways energy can be transferred. The first does not need a medium - that is why energy can be transmitted through empty space, and the second is by contact between two objects or an object and a medium.
