as the temperature increases the atoms in a metal gain energy so the KE of the atoms increase this increase their movement for this it requires more space so it expans to increase the gap between the atoms or molecules

What is the increase of the volume of a substance by the increase of temperature called?
This increase of volume is called expansion
What is one common application of thermal expansion?
A thermostat is a common application of a thermal expansion. It works as an indicator with an internal liquid that rises up if the temperature in the room also heats up.
How does the alchohol thermometer works?
The principle is the relation between the temperature and the volumic thermal expansion of an alcohol.
One common application of thermal expansion is?
Thermal expansion has been used to create many different devices including the fire sprinkler. Fire sprinklers have a bimetallic strip which will bend to one side when heated to connect to electricity and trigger the sprinkler.Ê
What is thermal expansion and explain its two types?
- Thermal expansion is the dimension modification of a material under heating. - Linear, volumetric and area thermal expansion are known and measured for materials.
How does thermal expansion affect a bridge?
A bridge must have expansion gaps or else they will waver when they expand in warm temperatures. This is thermal expansion
Liquids expansion by heat?
Yes as friend Des Dichado pointed out liquids do have thermal expansion.
The expansion of matter when it is heated is known as?
thermal expansion
What is the thermal expansion coefficient for steel c 15?
thermal expansion depends on Temperature and material of steel
What is the process of thermal expansion?
Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.
What are the two types of thermal expansion?
Linear, volumetric and area thermal expansion are known and measured for materials.
What is an increase in the size of a substance in response to an increase in the substance's temperature?
boyles law describes how when temperature rises the volume rises
