Actually the particles do not expand. The reason behind is that the particles, due to some reason, gets energy and get excited and accelerate. As they get fast, they collide with each other and expand the material.

Why do most materials expand when heated?

Most materials expand when heated because their atoms and molecules gain energy and move more vigorously, pushing them further apart. This increase in distance between particles leads to an overall expansion in volume of the material.


What happens to particles when materials are heated or cooled?

When materials are heated, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster, leading to expansion of the material. Conversely, when materials are cooled, the particles lose kinetic energy and move slower, causing the material to contract or condense.
