What happens to the molecular level when substances get hot?

When substances get hot, the molecules gain energy and vibrate more rapidly. This increase in molecular motion causes the substance to expand, changing its physical state (e.g. from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas) if the heating continues. Heating can also break the bonds between molecules, leading to chemical reactions and changes in the substance's properties.
