True or false. heat causes most solids,liquids,and gases to contract?

False


In most cases, the heated object will expand.





However, In some cases, heating causes a contraction.


e.g., heating ice, to water causes a contraction between the water molecules.


Shrink plastics also contract when heated.True or false. heat causes most solids,liquids,and gases to contract?
False. The opposite is true. Temperature is really the measure of how fast atom molecules are moving. As more atoms move, the temperature increases. If heat means that more atoms are moving, then solids, liquids and gases are more likely to expand (since they don't want to sit around in one place). Now with cold temperatures, contraction is more likely to occur as it indicates that the atoms are not moving as fast.True or false. heat causes most solids,liquids,and gases to contract?
False, it causes them to expand. Think of melting an ice cube or boiling a pot of water...
