They vibrate. And if heated enough, most connections will be broken and the object will be melted.

What happens to the particles in a liquid when they are heated?

The particles in a liguid are bonded (not as strongly as a solid which is why it flows.) when it is heated the particles vibrate and eventually the bonds break and the particles break away. This is evaporation.

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. =)

What does the particle theory suggest about the motion of the particles of solids-liquids and gases when they are heated?

When a solid, liquid or gas is heated the particles in the substance speed up and gets less dense. The particles also spreads out.
