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).

Do all solids expand and contract by the same amount?

No, all solids do not expand and contract by the same amount. The amount of expansion or contraction depends on the material's coefficient of thermal expansion, which varies from one material to another. Different solids have different responses to changes in temperature.


How do solids usually behave when heated?

Their volume increases - that is to say, the solids expand. However, their mass stays the same.


Do all solids conduct heat at the same rate?

yes


Do all solids do not conduct heat at the same rate?

Yes


Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?

No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.


Do all solids conduct heat and same rate?

No, not all solids conduct heat at the same rate. Some solids, like metals, are good conductors of heat, while others, like plastics and wood, are poor conductors. The rate of heat conduction depends on the material's properties, such as its density, structure, and composition.


Do solids expand to a much greater extent than gases when heated?

No, gases expand more than solids when heated.


Do solids expand when hot?

yes


How quickly do gases expand compared with solids and liquids when heated the same amount?

Why do solids expand when heated even though their mass does not change?

When solids are heated, the atoms or molecules within them vibrate faster and with greater energy, causing them to spread out slightly. This increase in vibration leads to the expansion of the solid even though the mass remains the same.


Do liquids expand and contract at the same rate?

No, liquids do not expand and contract at the same rate. Different liquids have different coefficients of expansion, which determine how much they expand or contract with changes in temperature. This property is important when designing systems where temperature changes may affect the volume of the liquid.


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..
