As a rule of thumb atoms tend to Contract(less space in between each atom) and expand with heat( more space in between each atom). ice if i rember correctly is the only material that does expand when frozen though.

When a substance is cooled the particles are still the same size, but they are closer together, and are jittering around less.

Why are vesicles in pinocytosis smaller then those in phagocytosis?

Because phagocytosis in the endocytosis on solid particles, while pinocytocis is the endocytosis of liquid particles. Liquid particles can be compacted into smaller vesicles then solid particles.

What happens when a solid is cooled?

A solid's particles already vibrate in relatively fixed positions. However, when the solid is cooled enough, the particles will likely vibrate even less.

Do particles get smaller or bigger when heated?

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.


Why does a gass expand when heated and contract when cooled?

When a gas is heated up, the particles within the gas start to move faster, going farther apart (expansion). When a gas is cooled, the particles slow down and it starts to condense (contract), and if cooled enough, into a liquid.
