What happens to the particles in a metal when the metal is heated?

When a metal bar is heated....the particles in the area of the metal bar that is hot start vibrating.. knocking into each other and passing the heat energy on to cooler particles. The cooler end that isn't heated still has a rise in temperature just not as much as the heated area because the heat has almost been diluted.

What happens to the density of a heated iron block?
The density will decrease because the heated metal contracts and its particles slow down.
When a liquid is heated what happens to inter particle spaces?
The particles spread out and 'jumble' . Hope this helps ;) x
What happens to the particles of a solid when it is heated and melted?
The particles in a solid start to move faster and faster as they are heated. Eventually they may move fast and freely enough to reach the liquid state, and if they continue to be heated, the particles could obtain enough energy to leave the liquid state and go into the gaseous state.
Particles vibrate faster when they are cooled?
Particles vibrate faster when they are heated.
What happens when solides are heated?
When a solid is heated the particles vibrate more and they break free of the mold they are in. This makes the solid a liquid. if you continue to heat it, the vibrations will get stronger and the particles will start to evaporate. When the particles evaporate, then it would be a gas.
When a sample of gas is heated what happens to the motion of the particles?
The motion of particles is accelerated.
What happens to the density of a heated iron block?
The density will decrease because the heated metal contracts and its particles slow down.
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.
What happens to the speed of gas when heated?
The speed of the gas particles will increase as they are heated. That is why the pressure in a container increases. The particles are hitting the walls of the container with more force as they are heated.
When one end of a piece of metal is heated what happens?
the partcles get closer together or the particles get bigger. you decide
What happens when particles get heated?
they get excited and move around faster
What happens to metal when it is heated?
The atoms that make up the metal are loosened up by the heat, therefore causing the metal structure to become more flexible.
What happens to a metal rod when heated?
goes bigger
What happens to the particles in copper when heated by a Bunsen burner?

What happens to the particles ina gas went they are heated?
The particles start moving faster and the matter expands.
What happens to particles in a solid when they are heated or cooled?
if they are heated then they turn to a liquid, if that are a soled well they are hard like ice
What happens to the electrical conductivity of a metal when it is heated?
it wil expand
