The answer is a lot more simple than you may imagine, it is simply because the atoms and molecules in liquids havd more freedom to move about than in solids

Do all liquids expand when heated?
Liquids expand more than solids on heating
What happens to a liquids particles when the temperature increases?
Liquids, solids and gasses EXPAND when heated- the particles occupy more space.
Which is the best conductor of sound a gas a liquid or a solid?
Solids and liquids are better conductors. You can't say which of the two because some solids are more dense than some liquids and vice versa.
Do mechanical waves travel faster in solids or liquids?
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
Conduction occurs more easily between solids and liquids. This is because the particles in gases are?
further apart and move more slowly.
Do all liquids expand when heated?
Liquids expand more than solids on heating
Which of these does not expand liquid solid or gas?
All of them can expand - for example, when they are heated. Gases usually expand more than solids or liquids.
Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?
Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.
What state of matter expands the most on heating?
Solids, liquids and gases expand when heated, liquids and gases expand much more that solids. Gases can be compressed
Is there more liquids than solids on the earth?
On the surface, more liquids. Considering the whole Earth, much more solids than liquids
When a fluid increases does its particles occupy less space?
Liquids, solids and gasses EXPAND when heated- the particles occupy more space.
Is it true liquids expand more than gases?
No! Gases have the most potential for expansion. Their molecules are farther apart and more loosly held than either liquids or solids. In fact, it is their molecular distance and ability to expand apart from each other that make them gases.
Why is the moon's pull more noticeable in liquids than in solids?
Why is the moon's pull more noticeable in liquids than in solids?
How mixtures form?
mixtures can be formed by physically putting two or more substances together. Mixtures can be formed between solids and liquids, solids and solids, liquids and liquids, solids and gas, liquids and gas, gas and gas
Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
Why are liquids more heavier than solids?
liquids are really not heavier that solids. solids are acutally heavier. this is one of the properties of a solid.
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
