Does lead expand and contract?
Yes, lead does expand when heated and contract when cooled, just like most materials. This property is known as thermal expansion and contraction.
Can gases expand or contract?
Yes, gases can both expand and contract. When heated, gases expand as the molecules move more rapidly, increasing the pressure and volume. Conversely, when cooled, gases contract as the molecules slow down, decreasing the pressure and volume.
What are metals that expand and contract?
Metals expand when heated because when heat touches the atoms they bounce around even more than they already do so they need more space. When you cool a metal it contracts. Would you get closer to someone when your cold?
Why does placing a jar under warm running water help loosen the lid?

Why a glass jar can be easily opened if the metal lid is heated?
because metal will expand when it has been heated up
What happened to the matel when it is on a cold day?
Metals contract when they are cooled, and expand when they are heated.
