When you heat a substance, the heat energy is converted in the material into vibrational energy of the molecules, and they are more free to move.
[Eventually, they become so free to move that we call it a liquid! There is then no constraint on their movement.]
As they are more free to move, the space between them increases because of their more vigorous motion. This we see as an increase in dimension.
The inverse happens when the metal cools.
You should heat the metal cylinder and cool the metal rod. Heating the cylinder will cause it to expand, making it easier to insert the rod. Cooling the rod will cause it to contract, allowing it to fit into the hole more easily.
When metal is cooled by ice, the particles in the metal will slow down and lose kinetic energy, leading to a decrease in temperature. As the metal cools, the particles will eventually reach a point where they freeze and form a solid structure.
No, typically metals contract when they are cooled. This is because cooling slows down the movement of atoms, causing them to come closer together, which results in the metal contracting.
Yes, metal can expand and contract due to changes in temperature. When heated, the metal molecules move more rapidly, causing the metal to expand. Conversely, when cooled, the metal molecules slow down, resulting in contraction.
When metals are heated, the atoms within the metal vibrate more rapidly, causing them to take up more space and the metal to expand. When the metal is cooled, the atoms vibrate less, allowing them to move closer together, resulting in contraction. This expansion and contraction is due to the changes in the spacing and movement of the atoms within the metal structure.
Metals, like most solids will contract when cooled. When cooled the atoms or molecules slow down, vibrating less often, causing a smaller average separation between them.

Generally, all metals contract when cooled. However, the rate at which they contract depends on their coefficient of thermal expansion. In general, materials with higher coefficients of thermal expansion will contract more when cooled.

No, gasses expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Liquids expand when heated and contract when cooled.
it moves Because almost all Elements expand when heated and contract when cooled. As you are welding the metal at that location is trying to expand because of the heat. Ahead of the weld area the metal isn't moving. Behind the weld area the metal is trying to contract as it cools. If the whole weld could be heated at once it would expand then contract at the same rate without distortion.
