No. The rate of expansion/ contraction varies from one material to the next.

Do all solids expand by the same amount when heated through same temperature?
no , all solids do not expand by the same amount when heated through same temperature. it depends upon the coefficient of its linear expansion. We define avergae co-efficient of linear expansion in the temperature range deltaT as α=(1/L)(ΔL/ΔT) where L is initial length of the solid at the temperature T.. It varies from material to material , higher the value of alpha , it expands more..
What do the words expand and contract mean?
contract is when an object is the same size as always expands is when it gets bigger
Do buildings expand and contract?
Yes, so far as the building is made if a conductor of heat, it will expand. The same rule applies to the Eiffel Tower!
What stays the same in solids?
Chemical (formula) composition of the compound concerned.
Does matter and mass mean the same thing?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and matter is anything that makes up any type of substance such as liquids, gases, and solids. Therefore they do not have the same definition.
How quickly do gases expand compared with solids and liquids when heated the same amount?
cheater! go ask mrs. s!
Do solids expand at the same rate?
No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
How do solids usually behave when heated?
Their volume increases - that is to say, the solids expand. However, their mass stays the same.

Why water vapor takes up more space than the same amount of liquid?
Gases have no fixed volume - they will expand, or to a certain extent contract, to fit their container.
What gas does not t expand or contract?
Down to something called the Avogadro Constant. It states that 1 mole of ANY gas will always occupy the same amount of space.
Do all gases expand the same amount?
no, cuz there is a thing called the expansivity of a substance that tells us how much a particular substance will expand over 1 degree change in temprature
Do buildings expand and contract?
Yes, so far as the building is made if a conductor of heat, it will expand. The same rule applies to the Eiffel Tower!
Why is the density of all solids and liquids almost constant at ordinary while the density of different gases varies?
Because unlike solids and liquids, gasses expand to fill any space they are given. This means that the same amount of gas (same amount of matter) can fill up any volume. The equation for density is Mass/Volume and if the volume isn't constant, there can't be just one density for each mass of a gas.
Why does liquid and solids keep the same volume?
They don't. Some liquids expand when they become solid and others shrink, while some do maintain the same volume.
How is solid differ from solid?
Gas expands to fill up it's container, while if solids are put into the same container, the will not expand. They will stay the same size and shape.
