What happens when the temperature changes from cold to hot in most substances

Step-by-step explanation:

As the temperature of a solid, liquid or gas increases, the particles move more rapidly. As the temperature falls, the particles slow down. If a liquid is cooled sufficiently, it forms a solid. If a liquid is heated sufficiently, it forms a gas.

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. ... Solids, liquids and gases all expand when heat is added.☺
