When particles are heated or cooled, they do not change size at all. They simply move with greater kinetic energy so the space between particles increases. This prompts the changes in size we see when substances are heated or cooled.

Do particles get bigger when they are heated?

In general, particles do not get bigger when they are heated. When particles are heated, they gain energy and move faster, which may cause materials to expand due to thermal expansion. However, the individual particles themselves do not increase in size.
