Thermal Expansion In Fluids (Liquids And Gases:
Increase in dimensions of a liquid on being heated is called thermal expansion of the liquid. Types. Liquid has only volume. When heated, its volume increases. Increase in volume is called cubical expansion.
In which of the following state/s of matter, the particles are at large distance from each other than solid?
a) solid
b) liquid
c) gaseous
d) both b and c
Why liquids expand on heating?
a) the gap between their particles decreases
b) their force of attraction increases
c) their particles start moving with moving greater K. E
d) all of these
