Heat energy causes all matter to expand, a reason for this strange occurrence is that when a particular substance receives heat whether it be through conduction, convection or radiation the atoms inside the substance become more energised therefor needing more space to move, they push the outside boundaries making the substance expand. If the substance receives an exceeding amount of heat energy it will change states of matter.

Most matter when heated?

When matter is heated, its particles gain energy and move more rapidly, causing the substance to expand and sometimes change phase (e.g. solid to liquid). The exact effects of heating depend on the specific properties of the material.


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.

What happens to the states of matter if they are heated?

well im only 13 but i just learnt this Heat makes all the particlrs in solid, liquid,gas move faster so if u heated a ballon ( dont pop it ) it would expand because the particles in the gas would move faster and expand .. Hope that helped
