When a substance expands, it increases in volume due to the increase in the average distance between its particles, often caused by heating. Conversely, contraction occurs when a substance decreases in volume as particles come closer together, typically due to cooling. These changes in volume are physical responses to temperature variations and can affect the substance's density and state. Expansion and contraction are fundamental properties observed in gases, liquids, and solids.

What does it mean to have no definite volume or shape?
Having no definite volume means that the substance can expand or contract to fill the space it is in. Having no definite shape means that the substance takes the shape of its container. This describes the properties of gases, which are able to flow and expand to fill any space.
Will an inert gas expand and contract with temperature?
It will contract.
What expand or contract to take the shape of a container?
Liquids and gasses will expand or contract to take the shape of a container.
Oil expand or contract when heated?
Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
What tissue can contract and be stretched but not expand?
muscle
What does it mean to have no definite volume or shape?

What causes a substance to expand?
When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases, causing them to move faster and further apart. This results in an expansion of the substance's volume. Conversely, when a substance is cooled, the molecules slow down and move closer together, causing the substance to contract.
Does matter expand or contract when it is heated?
Expand
What matter expand and contract?
explain how temperature affects matter using the words contract and expand
Does matter expand or contract when it's heated?
Expand
What do muscles need in order to expand and stretch?
They have to either expand or contract through movement. They can only expand and contract as far as their tissues will allow,
Will an inert gas expand and contract with temperature?
It will contract.
Which temperature causes particles to expand and contract?
Particles expand with increasing temperature as they gain energy and move faster, causing the substance to expand. Conversely, particles contract with decreasing temperature as they lose energy and slow down, resulting in a decrease in volume.
What do the words expand and contract mean?
contract is when an object is the same size as always expands is when it gets bigger
What type of rocks expand?
All rock can expand or contract.
When things get bigger you say they contract converge or expand?
They expand.
What 6 letter word is the opposite of contract?
"EXPAND"
