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.

What else can I help you with?
How much does a solid expand with heating?
It depends on the solid.
If solids expand on heating then why we use a scale to measure length knowing that it will expand and contract?
The scale is assumed to expand and contract with the solid - you cannot measure a solid with a 30cm ruler from another continent.
How do temperature changes the expansion of solids liquids and gases?
Solid, liquid and gas will expand on heating. One exception is water that expands on being heated, and on being frozen into solid ice.

How do temperature changes affect the expansion of solids liquid and gases?
Solid, liquid and gas will expand on heating. One exception is water that expands on being heated, and on being frozen into solid ice.
When does a solid expand?
Yes, because all of the particles inside of the solid separate so that cause the solid to expand.
Do substances expand on heating?
yes
Which states of matter does not expand?
Solid.
Do solid materials expand and contract?
Yes, solid materials expand when heated and contract when cooled. This is because heating causes the atoms and molecules in the material to vibrate more and increase their kinetic energy, leading to expansion. Conversely, cooling decreases their kinetic energy, causing them to move closer together and contract.
Do all objects expand when heated?
No, not all objects expand when heated. Most objects do expand when heated, but there are exceptions such as water between 0°C and 4°C, which contracts when heated. The expansion or contraction of an object when heated depends on its material properties.
Does solid food expand or contract when frozen?
If the food has water in it then it will expand.
What is a solid substance left after heating coal or petrol?
The solid substance left after heating coal is called coal ash, while the residue left after heating petrol is known as petroleum coke. These solid substances are byproducts of the heating process and can vary in composition depending on how the coal or petrol was processed.
