Expansion:
 Substances increase in size on heating.
 During heating, particles move apart –expand- loosely
arranged.
CONTRACTION

Contraction:
 Substances decrease in size on cooling .
During cooling, particles move closer- contract-tightly packed.

THREE STATES OF MATTER:

• It is classified on the basis of particle arrangement.
• They are
 Solid
 Liquid
 Gases

SOLID
EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION LEVEL

LESS EXPANSION LESS CONTRACTION

Example: Iron Tools Example: Iron Tools

Iron tools are heated before they are As the iron coals, rings contracts to its

LIQUID
EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION LEVEL

Eg: When the milk boils it spills out When the burner is turned off, the
of container if burner is not turned off heat supply is cut the milk and
expansion stops.

Eg: Expansion of the alcohol level in Due to the cooling, the milk contract
a thermometer because of the and comes back to the previous level

GASES
EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION LEVEL

Inflated Balloons burst when kept If the inflated balloon is placed in a

in bright sunlight for a long time. cold water, the gases in the balloon
would contact

This is because air absorbs heat Thus, the balloon will shrink in size.
from sunlight and expands.
