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

Do all liquids expand when heated?

Liquids expand more than solids on heating


Which of these does not expand liquid solid or gas?

All of them can expand - for example, when they are heated. Gases usually expand more than solids or liquids.


Why do gases expand faster than liquids and solids?

Gases expand faster than liquids and solids because gas particles are further apart and have more freedom of movement compared to the particles in liquids and solids. This allows gas particles to quickly fill any available volume, leading to faster expansion when exposed to heat or pressure changes. Liquids and solids have particles that are more closely packed together, restricting their ability to expand as quickly.


Do liquids expand faster when heated than solid?

Yes, liquids generally expand more than solids when heated because their particles have more freedom to move and take up more space. This increased molecular motion in liquids allows them to expand faster compared to the more rigid structure of solid materials.


Why do gases expand more than solid or liquids when they are heated?

Gases expand more than solids or liquids when heated because the particles in gases are more loosely packed and have more kinetic energy. This allows them to move more freely and spread out in response to an increase in temperature. Solids and liquids have particles that are more closely packed and have less freedom to move, resulting in less expansion when heated.


Is there more liquids than solids on the earth?

On the surface, more liquids. Considering the whole Earth, much more solids than liquids


Why do liquids and solids expand with temperature and not compressible like a gas?

Most solids and liquids expand with temperature (ice is an exception - it contracts with increased temperature) because there is more energy in the particles, and therefore they move faster and take up more space. They are not compressible, however, because the particles in solids and liquids are touching each other, and so have a specific volume, unlike gases.


When a fluid increases does its particles occupy less space?

Liquids, solids and gasses EXPAND when heated- the particles occupy more space.


What happens to the density of solids liquids and gases when they are heated?

Generally, the density of solids, liquids, and gases decreases as they are heated. When heated, the particles in these substances gain energy and move more, causing the substance to expand, which leads to a decrease in density.


Is it true liquids expand more than gases?

No! Gases have the most potential for expansion. Their molecules are farther apart and more loosly held than either liquids or solids. In fact, it is their molecular distance and ability to expand apart from each other that make them gases.


What state of matter expands the most on heating?

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


What happens to solids and liquids on heating?

When solids are heated, they gain energy and vibrate more, causing an increase in temperature. Liquids, on the other hand, absorb the heat energy and may evaporate to form gases depending on the temperature reached.
