According to the Particulate Theory of Matter, when matter is heated up, its particles gain energy, and thus, it changes its state.

A solid has particles that are tightly packed together. When it is heated, its particles will gain energy and be more spread out to become a liquid. It works likewise for liquids to become gases.
