Why is the water not used in the construction of liquid in glass thermometer?
water doesnt undergo significant thermal expansion. alcohol expands more when it's heated
What happens to volume when air is heated?
It expands.
What happens to the size of solid if you heated it?
it expands
Why does ice shrink when it freezes?
Water actually becomes less dense, or expands, when frozen. When liquid water reaches it's freezing point, the water molecules rearrange themselves into a lattice structure. Due to the nature of the water molecules, they arrange themselves in such a way as to make it less dense than it was in it's liquid form, which is why ice floats on top of liquid water.
Most matter when heated?
The individual particles vibrate/move faster. The matter as a whole expands.
Do liquids expands when heated?
Only one liquid expands when heated and thats water the most common liquid.

What is the liquid mercury in a thermometer expands as its heated what is this a?
physical change
Why does the liquid expand in a thermometer when it gets hotter?
In a thermometer is a liquid metal called Mercury, so the liquid expands when it is heated up.
What is the thermometric property used in a mercury thermometer?
Not just a property of liquid but of all matter. All matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled, in thermometers the liquid, usually an alcohol, expands when heated lengthening the little line.
Does matter expands or contrast when heated?
Matter usually expands when heated.
Wich state of matter expands the most when heated?
gas expand more than liquid and liquid expand more than solid.
Why mercury is used in making thermometers?
It was used because it is a liquid that expands and contracts to a usable degree when heated or cooled.
What liquid expands the most when heated?
Among common liquids, ether has a particularly high coefficient of thermal expansion.
