Atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature since the electrons induce to absorb energy, jumps to the excited energy state called quantum jump and then returns to their ground state. The amount of energy in the photon determines its color.

What happens to material when heated do they expand contract change color double the size?
Most materials expand when heated. A few contract under certain circumstances, for instance water contracts when heated between 1 and 4 degrees C. Some change colour, e.g. zinc oxide. Whether they could double in size depends on the material and the temperature increase.

What is mean by preheat temperature in welding?
Some materials have to be heated before you start to weld on them. They will probably have a maximum interpass temperature, and may also need to be kept heated to a specific temperature for a certain amount of time after you stop welding (called post heat).
What elements exist in liquid form?
Bromine and Mercury at room temperature. All can exist as liquids, but they must be heated or cooled first.

Can gases be heated?
Yes, gases can be heated. They try to expand if not contained, thus becoming less dense and causing convection currents. At a certain temperature some gases their "flash point" when they will burn or explode.

How can a liquid change to a gas?
A liquid changes into a gas when it is heated to a certain temperature, known as the boiling point. Every substance has a different boiling point.
What temperature does mild steel need to be heated for thermal cutting to occur?
heated up to kindling temperature of the mild steel
What happens when toxins are heated to a high temperature?
When toxins are heated to a warm temperature, the germs will multiply. There is only a certain extent that toxins can be heated to. The majority of toxins are killed when heated at a boiling temperatures, but there are a few types that survive. The most popular one is probably Clostridium botulinum which is found in soil and untreated water and in poorly preserved or canned food. Even small amounts of C. botulinum can induce severe poisoning.
