What is the process called when particles in a metal lid expand under hot water?

This is a misconception. Particles do not expand, When they get hot they move further apart. This means that the object (the lid) gets bigger. It's just called expansion.

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 is the process called when you combine metal and oxygen?
Oxidation.
Think of a metal spoon in a pot of hot water. How do the particles of the water affect the particles of the spoon?
Conduction is what transfers the heat in this process. The fast moving particles in the hot electric coil collide with the slow-moving particles in the cool pot. The transfer of the heat causes the pot's particles to move faster. Then the pot's particles collide with the water's particles, which in turn collide with the particles of the spoon. As the particles move faster, the metal spoon becomes hotter.
What is the act of fusing metals by melting called?
1. _________ is the process of joining metal parts of fusion. The process of joining metal parts by fusion is known as arc welding.
How are sulfide ores turned into oxides?
Sulfide ores are usully converted to oxides by heating them in air, this process is called roasting. During this process, metal sulfide is turned into metal oxide and sulfur dioxide is given out as a by-product.
Why does metal expand when warm?
Because the particles
Why a solid metal expands when it is heated?
Metal expands when it is headed, Because of a process called melting , the more you heat a substance the more it will expand, ( the atoms ) will will get to a point where it will become a liquid and if heated enough the atoms will get so far apart that it will become a gas.
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.
When was the process of metal injection developed?
The process of Metal Injection was developed in the early 1970's by Raymond Weich. It allows for metal particles to be injected in plastic machining parts.
What is the process of coating an object with a metal called?
Metal plating.
A substance that contains covalent bonds consisting of individual particles is called?
A metal...
What is the process called for the combining of metal with oxygen?
Rusting
What is the process called when you combine metal and oxygen?

What is the process in which an ore is melted to separate the metal from other elements?
The process is called - smelting
What is the process called when a metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
