Question

Which of these expand the most on heating−solids, liquids or gases?

Open in App
Solution

On heating, gases expand the most.
Because the molecules of gases are not bound to each other, the vibration of molecules increases when gases are heated. This increases the average distance between the molecules, resulting in their expansion. In liquids and solids, molecules are bound to each other and restrict the expansion as compared to those in gases.
