the highe the temperature the larger the size of the matter.for example take a balloon and fill it with air and put and the sun light when its shining and you will see that the balloon have been blown up after a while because the size of the gas have gain a larger amount of the air

Mass of the object remains the same. Solids, Liquids and Gases all expand when heat is added. When heat leaves all substances, the molecules vibrate more slowly. The atoms can get closer which results in the matter contracting. Again the mass is not changed.

An increase in temperature means that some interparticular bonds are broken. Thus solids can melt to form liquids and eventually liquids will evaporate to become gases. We can see this when ice --> water --> steam
The state of matter a substance is in depends on temperature and pressure. A higher temperature provides more energy to the molecules in a substance.

From low energy to high energy:

Solid --- Liquid --- Gas

So at higher temperatures, matter will be at higher states on the above scale.

Yes. Water is a good example. When it is cold enough, water is a solid. Above 0°C, it is a liquid. Above 100°C, it is a vapour.

For solids, higher or lower temperatures cause almost every solid to either get larger (expand) or get smaller (shrink) Metallurgists have created metal alloys which change size by only minuscule or zero amounts. The steel in measuring tapes are made of a steel alloy called 'Invar'. So that they do not change their length when in below freezing, or used in the tropics. On hot days and on very cold days you will hear the noise as sheets of corrugated steel roofing, expand or contract and slide over each other where they lap. If solids are made very very hot they turn to a liquid. When stel is made it come out of the Smelter as a liquid and cools to a solid. While still red hot, it can be stretched to make steel bars any shape we require. For Liquids the same thing is true but to very much lesser degree. The main change that takes place in liquids as they are heated, is that they turn into a gas. Water turns to steam. When liquids are cooled they can freeze to become a solid. Water turns to ice. ALSO, if a gases such as oxygen or coal gas, are compressed to a very high pressure, they become liquid and occupy much less space. In Australia we obtain gas from the ground and compress it until it occupies very very much less space, and sell it in steel containers to use at BBQ's. When it has the pressure released it turns back to a gas and at the same time, it gets very very cold. All 'matter' is either a solid, or a liquid, or a gas and can be transformed from one form to the other

Temperature change is what normally causes the state of matter to be altered from a solid to a liquid, to a gas.

solid- if you add heat its particales make it a liquid or a gas liquid-if you add heat it will turn into a gas gas- if you add heat it stays a gas solid- if you add coldness it stays a solid liquid- if you add coldness it will turn into a solid gas-if you add coldness it will turn into a liquid-moisture-water droplets- condensation
