As a very basic answer, the energy from the heat causes the atoms to move. As they move faster and faster, they spread apart further and further, causing solids to become liquids and liquids to become gasses. In the same sense, as matter cools, the atoms slow down and condense back into liquids and solids.

Does the change of a temperature cause matter to change state?

It can.


How does volume of matter change with increase in temperature?

Assuming that pressure and the amount of matter are constant (meaning they do not change), volume will increase as temperature increases.


What causes a change in state of matter?

Temperature.


What causes a change of state of matter?

Temperature.


What matter does not change in shape or volume?

That would be a solid. Solids expand and contract with temperature. The only thing that doesn't change with temperature would be degenerate matter such as neutronium.


What causes matter to change its state?

Temperature. Temperature causes matter to change state.


Why the temperature remain constant altough heat is absorbed from surrounding?

That will not happen unless matter is undergoing a phase change and the temperature you are measuring is that of the matter undergoing the phase change.


How a temperature change is not a chemical change?

Change in temperature is not a chemical change rather it is a physical change because it does not cause any change in composition or chemical properties of matter.


How do you change the state of matter?

The state of matter can be changed by altering the temperature or pressure of a substance. For example, increasing the temperature of a solid can cause it to melt and change into a liquid, while lowering the temperature of a gas can cause it to condense into a liquid. Similarly, changing the pressure can also affect the state of matter.
