When does a solid expand?

Yes, because all of the particles inside of the solid separate so that cause the solid to expand.


Which states of matter does not expand?

Solid.


How much does a solid expand with heating?

It depends on the solid.


Does solid food expand or contract when frozen?

If the food has water in it then it will expand.


If solids expand on heating then why we use a scale to measure length knowing that it will expand and contract?

The scale is assumed to expand and contract with the solid - you cannot measure a solid with a 30cm ruler from another continent.


Which of these does not expand liquid solid or gas?

All of them can expand - for example, when they are heated. Gases usually expand more than solids or liquids.


Why does solid expand on heating?

The particles in a solid, move very little. But when it is heated, the particles expand because the heat moves the particles around more, making them need more space to move, therefore expanding the solid. =)


Why water expands when freezes?

This is becuase it becomes a solid and the particles expand to fit neatly into a solid square.


What happen to solid when they absorbs heat?

When a solid absorbs heat, its particles gain energy and begin to vibrate more rapidly, causing the solid to expand. This expansion may lead to a change in state, such as melting if the temperature reaches the solid's melting point.


What happens when heat is added to a solid?

When heat is added to a solid, its particles start vibrating more rapidly, increasing their kinetic energy. This causes the solid to expand slightly as the particles spread out. If enough heat is added, the solid may reach its melting point and turn into a liquid.


How solid expand?

ne heat gives energy for the particles to move around


Wich state of matter expands the most when heated?
