Solids, liquids and gases expand when heated, liquids and gases expand much more that solids. Gases can be compressed
crucible
take the shape and volume of its container, as the gas particles are free to move and spread out to fill the available space. This is due to the lower intermolecular forces between gas particles compared to solids and liquids.
When temperature rises, solids generally expand because the particles within the solid gain kinetic energy and move with greater vibration, causing the material to take up more space.
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
Gases expand most on heating because their particles have high kinetic energy, causing them to move further apart. Solids expand least because their particles are tightly packed and have less freedom to move, limiting the expansion.
All solids expand when they are heated. Examples include concrete slabs having spacers between them to accommodate expansion, and balloons expand with air being pumped into them and contract when air is let out.
The scale is assumed to expand and contract with the solid - you cannot measure a solid with a 30cm ruler from another continent.
Liquids expand more than solids on heating
No, gases expand more than solids when heated.
yes
The answer is a lot more simple than you may imagine, it is simply because the atoms and molecules in liquids havd more freedom to move about than in solids

Solid, liquid and gas will expand on heating. One exception is water that expands on being heated, and on being frozen into solid ice.
No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
Most solids expand as they increase in temperature and contract as they get colder. Interestingly, water after it freezes will start to expand as it gets even colder.
