That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.

Why do gases expand most on heating and solids least?

Gases expand most on heating because their particles have high kinetic energy, causing them to move further apart. Solids expand least because their particles are tightly packed and have less freedom to move, limiting the expansion.


When most solids liquids and gases are heated they?

expand


Give examples of expansion of solids?

All solids expand when they are heated. Examples include concrete slabs having spacers between them to accommodate expansion, and balloons expand with air being pumped into them and contract when air is let out.


If solids expand on heating then why we use a scale to measure length knowing that it will expand and contract?

The scale is assumed to expand and contract with the solid - you cannot measure a solid with a 30cm ruler from another continent.


Do solids change volume?

Most solids expand as they increase in temperature and contract as they get colder. Interestingly, water after it freezes will start to expand as it gets even colder.


Do most liquids expand as they get hotter?

Not only liquids but also solids expand as they get hotter, with few exceptions.


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


Do all liquids expand when heated?

Liquids expand more than solids on heating


Does Ice contract when cooled and expand when heated like most other solids?

yes


Do solids expand to a much greater extent than gases when heated?

No, gases expand more than solids when heated.


Do all objects expand when heated?

No, not all objects expand when heated. Most objects do expand when heated, but there are exceptions such as water between 0°C and 4°C, which contracts when heated. The expansion or contraction of an object when heated depends on its material properties.


Do solids expand when hot?

yes
