The heat causes the metal to expand making the lid slightly bigger so that it breaks contact with the jar.

That's what it does, how it does it I believe is this. Heat causes the atoms in the metal to move faster or to have more energy. The more energy something has, the more room each atom needs to function. That may be simplistic, but I think that is the idea.
