The atoms that make up the metal are loosened up by the heat, therefore causing the metal structure to become more flexible.

they melt into liquid.

The particles will start to get really warm and then vibrate and if they get heated for so long the metal will change state and become a liquid. The molecules (small particles) expand so the metal also expand.

What happens to the particles in a metal when the metal is heated?

When a metal bar is heated....the particles in the area of the metal bar that is hot start vibrating.. knocking into each other and passing the heat energy on to cooler particles. The cooler end that isn't heated still has a rise in temperature just not as much as the heated area because the heat has almost been diluted.
