∙ 14y agoAs heat is provided to the matter the atoms(particles) gain more and more kinetic energy.So now they have greater motion than before and tend to move away from each other. Thus increasing the volume.

∙ 8y agoParticles do NOT grow bigger when they are heated. The substances which are composed of those particles get bigger. That is because the particles move faster when they are heated and jostle each other further apart, so it's the spaces between them that get bigger.

How do particles move when they are heated?
Particles move faster when they are heated.
When a substance is heated do the particles get larger?
no they just get more energy and bounce around more and require more space so it seems like they get bigger but they aren't
When a sample of gas is heated what happens to the motion of the particles?
The motion of particles is accelerated.
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 to the particles in copper when heated by a Bunsen burner?
[object Object]
When materials are heated they get bigger?
the answer is particles !
Is the this sentence capitalized and punctuated correctly as particles become heated they expand and grow larger?
The sentence should be: "As particles become heated, they expand and grow larger." This corrects the lack of a comma after "heated" and adjusts the capitalization of "As" to the beginning of the sentence.
Do particles get smaller or bigger when heated?
When particles are heated or cooled, they do not change size at all. They simply move with greater kinetic energy so the space between particles increases. This prompts the changes in size we see when substances are heated or cooled.
When substance is heated its particles expand and increase in size?
it expands and it becomes bigger
In addition to speeding up what will heated particles do?
expand and grow frow larger
How do particles move when they are heated?
Particles move faster when they are heated.
Do particles get bigger when they are heated?
The particles themselves don't get bigger, they do however start moving more quickly and therefore they use up more space to move around in. (That's why most stuff expands when you heat it)
What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?
smoke particles are bigger than gas particles.
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.
When a substance is heated do the particles get larger?
no they just get more energy and bounce around more and require more space so it seems like they get bigger but they aren't
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 an solid is heated does it go bigger or smaller?
bigger.
