Step-by-step explanation:

The molecules of solids are shrinked in there normal state . but as a heat energy is produced , the molecules starts curating fast and fast as temperature goes up . since they vibrate , they hit and collide each other breaking the bondings this increases the surface of area of the solid , and molecules consumes that space and they expand .
