I assume your question deals with expansion in volume under conditions of heating and / or cooling.

I believe that most liquids expand in volume when they are heated and contract in volume when they are cooled.

Water does not follow this pattern entirely - it expands when it is cooled from a liquid state to a solid state.

Yes, liquids expand as their temperature increases because the molecules of warmer liquids move around and collide more.
