Solids, liquids and gases expand when heated, liquids and gases expand much more that solids. Gases can be compressed

∙ 14y agoDefinitely gases expand the most, because the atoms are able to move freely and apart from each other, in rapid random straight line motion. This is because the intermolecular attraction between gas molecules is negligible.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoAll states of matter expand when heated. It is just more obvious in gases.

∙ 10y agoYou think to gases.

Most matter when heated?
The individual particles vibrate/move faster. The matter as a whole expands.
What is the state of matter that expands the least when heated?
The least compressible state of matter is a solid. But even solids may be compressed slightly.A Neutron Star consists of matter so compressed that it is now composed only of neutrons.And of course, in a Black Hole, things are more compressed again.But both neutron Star and Black Hole are degenerate matter - they are no longer considered ordinary matter.
Which state of matter are atoms most tightly packed?
Solid !
Which state of matter is most rigid?
Gases tend to float away by themselves. You can pour Liquids BUT, Solids are hard to deform.
Which state of matter has the greatest distance between the individual particles?
Gas is the state of matter with the most space between molecules. The 4th and most abundant state of matter 'Plasma' can be similarly diffuse, mainly as the electrons and protons in space not bound into molecular gas.
Which state of matter expands the most?
I would have to say Gas.
What does most matter do when heated?
Most matter EXPANDS when heatedmost matter expands when heated
Most matter when heated?
The individual particles vibrate/move faster. The matter as a whole expands.
Does an iron ring expands or contracts on heating?
Most materials expand when heated.
Does matter expand in heat or in the cold?
MOST matter expands as it gets hotter.
Wich state of matter expands the most when heated?
gas expand more than liquid and liquid expand more than solid.
What happens to most matter when heated?
When matter is heated the particles in the matter gain energy and begin to move or vibrate more depending on the state in which the matter is currently in. If the heat provided is significant enough they can change state too. Hope that was what you were looking for!
Is gas the most important state of matter?
The most common state of matter is plasma.
Is gas the most dense state of matter?
NO. Solid is the most dnse state of matter.
Which state of matter expands more when cooled?
Water ice is the most commonly met substance which expands when cooled, even if in the case of ice, it is over a limited temperature range. Additionally, several elements also do so. Ga, Si, Sb, Ge, Bi are the only ones I know of.
What is the state of matter for most elements?
The matter for most elements is a solid.
Which physical state of matter is the densest?
Solids are the most dense state of matter
