Expansion REASON (IN TERMS OF PARTICLES)

SOLID SMALL Particles vibrate faster about their fixed

points
Small expansion due to strong bond
between particles
LIQUID MODERATE Particles move around each other fasters

Bonds are weaker than in solids, so the

particles can move further apart
GAS LARGE Particles move faster and collide with more
force and frequency on the container walls.

Pressure bonds between particles are very

weak as they are so far apart
