What increases in the volume of a substance when the temperature increases?

Heat water and the water expands. Freeze water and the water expands (burst water pipes in winter when it thaws).
Heat metal and the metal expands. Freeze metal and the metal contracts.
Therefore, in physics not everything is as one would expect!

its volume decreases but it's density increases

As the temperature of a substance increases its volume tends to increase due to what?
thermal expansion
What happens to particles as the temperature increases?
As the temperature of a substance increases, its molecules move faster and therefore take up more space. This generally causes a substance to increase in volume when heated.
What happens to its volume when the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure?
The volume increases.
What happes to particles in a substance when the substance's temperature increases?
As temperature increases in a substance, the component particles become more energetic and eventually a phase change occurs.
How does the volume and density of a substance change when it is heated?
The volume of a substance increases when heated, causing a decrease in density.
As the temperature of a substance increases its volume tends to increasein temperature?
Due of Charles' Law
As the temperature of a substance increases its volume tends to increase due to what?
thermal expansion
What increases the volume of a substance when the temperature increases?
The cause is the thermal expansion of the material; increasing the temperature the molecules become more and more separated each from others.
Why the slope between volume and temperature rise exponentially?
As temperature increases, the bonds between the particles of the substance break down at a faster and faster rate. As the state transitions from solid to liquid and liquid to gas, the volume the substance occupies increases along an exponential curve.
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
What happens to volume as temperature changes?
if volume of a gas increases temperature also increases
What happens to the volume of mercury as the temperature increases?
The volume increases, which is why the mercury in a thermometer rises as the temperature increases.
What happens to particles as the temperature increases?
As the temperature of a substance increases, its molecules move faster and therefore take up more space. This generally causes a substance to increase in volume when heated.
How are the volume and pressure of a gas at a constant temperature related?
They're proportional; as temperature increases volume increases.
How are the volume and temperature of a gas at at constant pressure related?
They're proportional; as temperature increases volume increases.
When a substance melts The temperature of the substance increases?
it decreases.
What happens to its volume when the temperature of a gas increases at constant pressure?
The volume increases.
