This is related to the atoms moving faster when the object is hotter. Atoms have more energy, move faster, and this simply lets them move a bit farther away from their rest position.

Does a solid expand?

yes, the heat makes the particles move and in the heat they expand.


What happens when heat is added to a solid?

When heat is added to a solid, its particles start vibrating more rapidly, increasing their kinetic energy. This causes the solid to expand slightly as the particles spread out. If enough heat is added, the solid may reach its melting point and turn into a liquid.


How solid expand?

ne heat gives energy for the particles to move around


What does heat cause?

Heat causes ojects to expand . The object also will melt if it is a solid , and will turn into gas if heated.


Examples of thermal expansion in solids through heat?

Not sure what you mean; basically, ANY solid will expand if you heat it.


What happen to solid when they absorbs heat?

When a solid absorbs heat, its particles gain energy and begin to vibrate more rapidly, causing the solid to expand. This expansion may lead to a change in state, such as melting if the temperature reaches the solid's melting point.


Why does solid expand on heating?

The particles in a solid, move very little. But when it is heated, the particles expand because the heat moves the particles around more, making them need more space to move, therefore expanding the solid. =)


Why solid expand when it's heated?

heat its self is just an illusion when ever something is heat all that happens is the molecules become energized and vibrate more causeing them to spread out and thus expand


What happens if you add heat to a solid it will?

If a solid is subjected to heat, it will expand. On reaching its melting point, the solid will become liquid. At boiling point it will convert in to gaseous form. These are the three states of a matter.


When does a solid expand?

Yes, because all of the particles inside of the solid separate so that cause the solid to expand.


What does a solid do when you add heat to it?

When heat is added to a solid, its particles vibrate faster and the solid gains energy. This increased energy causes the solid to expand slightly as the particles move farther apart. If enough heat is added, the solid may reach its melting point and transition into a liquid state.


Which states of matter does not expand?

Solid.
