Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. The increase in the size of the matter is called expansion and when expansion occurs due to heat, it is called thermal expansion.
  2. On expansion, the basic properties of matter get affected that is, its shape and volume get changed. A liquid expands more than a solid and gas expand the most on heating.
  3. In gases, the particles are very loosely packed. There is a very less intermolecular force of attraction in gases than in liquid.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
