CHM 101 Chemical Bonding and Intermolecular Forces Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

Why do solids expand on heating?
Options
A Due to the increased energy of the particles at higher temperatures, allowing particles to exist at greater distances
Correct Answer
B Because particles get bigger
C Because intermolecular forces increase
D Because particles stop moving
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Solids expand on heating due to the increased energy of the particles at higher temperatures. This allows the particles to exist at greater distances from each other because the intermolecular forces are constant.

Hint

The notes explain expansion as a result of increased particle energy.
