When particles are heated or cooled, they do not change size at all. They simply move with greater kinetic energy so the space between particles increases. This prompts the changes in size we see when substances are heated or cooled.

Do particles get bigger when they are heated?
The particles themselves don't get bigger, they do however start moving more quickly and therefore they use up more space to move around in. (That's why most stuff expands when you heat it)
When metal is heated and expands will the metal get larger or smaller?
Your answer is in the question. If something expands, it obviously gets bigger. Therefore, the metal will get larger.
Do gas molecules get bigger when heated?
No, but the spaces between them gets bigger.
What does the particle theory suggest about the motion of the particles of solids-liquids and gases when they are heated?
When a solid, liquid or gas is heated the particles in the substance speed up and gets less dense. The particles also spreads out.
What does the particle theory suggest about the motion of the particles of solids liquids and gases when they are heated?
When a solid, liquid or gas is heated the particles in the substance speed up and gets less dense. The particles also spreads out.
When materials are heated they get bigger?
the answer is particles !
When an solid is heated does it go bigger or smaller?
bigger.
Are colloid particles bigger smaller or equal in size compared to those of suspensions?
Colloid particles are smaller than suspensions particles.
Are particles smaller then atoms?
particle is a general term. subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. dirt particles, for example, are much bigger than atoms
If a coin has a hole cut in it does the hole get bigger or smaller or stay the same when the coin is heated?
It gets bigger
When substance is heated its particles expand and increase in size?
it expands and it becomes bigger
What is the correct order of sediment in these materials from smaller particles to bigger particles?
clay,sit,sand
Does smaller particles have bigger or small infiltration rate?
The bigger the particle the higher the infiltration rate is.
What is the correct order of sediment size in these materials from smaller particles to bigger particles?
clay,sit,sand
Why do particles grow bigger when they are heated?
beacuase the molicules vibrate which makes the heat expand.
Is sand bigger than clay?
Yes, clay particles are very small, smaller than sand particles.
How do particles move when they are heated?
Particles move faster when they are heated.
