Generally speaking, substances have the least amount of surface area as a solid, as they are heated they form a liquid and expand, as this is heated it forms a gas and expands more. *Assuming pressure is constant **Water is the only substance to expand as it freezes

∙ 9y agoThough most substances expand, not all expand when heated. This is due to the need of more space for vibration by the atoms or molecules.

If cooled does most solids change into gases?
When cooled gases change to liquids (usually) and then solids Solids don't change to gases upon cooling
Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
Is liquid expand when heated?
Yes, in general a liquid will expand when heated. They contract when they are cooled.
When temperature rises solids do what?
they expand! does that help
What state of matter expands the most on heating?
Solids, liquids and gases expand when heated, liquids and gases expand much more that solids. Gases can be compressed
Does Ice contract when cooled and expand when heated like most other solids?
yes
If cooled does most solids change into gases?
When cooled gases change to liquids (usually) and then solids Solids don't change to gases upon cooling
How do solids expand?
the heat expand the solids atoms
When most solids liquids and gases are heated they?
expand
Do solids change volume?
Most solids expand as they increase in temperature and contract as they get colder. Interestingly, water after it freezes will start to expand as it gets even colder.
Do most liquids expand as they get hotter?
Not only liquids but also solids expand as they get hotter, with few exceptions.
Do metals expand when they are cooled?
No, most substances contract with cooling, only some exotic substances (eg water) expands when cooled.
Do all solids contract then cooled?
No
Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?
Unlike solids and liquids, a gas will expand to fill the space available to it.
What happens when rocks are cooled?
they expand
What happens to matter when it is cooled?
Expand
Do cooled substances expand?
Yes
