To understand you need to know that when you heat something its electrons orbit the nucleus of the atom faster and when you cool it, slower. This means when you heat it up it wobbles all over the place, pushing nearby atoms away, causig expansion, when this is reversed it is exactly the same

Do gases and solids contract when cooled?
yes, because the cooling process removes energy from the matter which makes the particles move less and the matter contract
Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?
Gases, then liquids, then solids.Good luck : )
What is the difference between solids liquids and gases in terms of kinetic energy?
Solids have the lowers and gases the highest kinetic energy. Liquids are in the middle.
Why do solids hold their shape but liquids of and gases of the same element do not?
the particles in solids are closer together than in liquids and gases allowing it to keep its shape
Sound travels slower through gases than through liquids and solids because the molecules in gases are?
sound travels slower through gases as compared to solids and liquids because there is more inter-moleculer space in gas as compared to solids and liquids.
If cooled does most solids change into gases?
When cooled gases change to liquids (usually) and then solids Solids don't change to gases upon cooling
How can solids liquids and gases be made to contract?
By applying heat
What happens to the volume of solids liquids and gases when they are cool?
they all contract.
What are similarities between solids and gases?
Solids, liquids, and gases are all made up of protons, neutrons, and ions. They also all go through changes when heated or cooled.
All solids liquids and gases are?
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
How does solids liquids and gases benefit us?
All I know is that we drink liquids, breath gases, but how does solids help?
Do gases and solids contract when cooled?
yes, because the cooling process removes energy from the matter which makes the particles move less and the matter contract
How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
