Question

correct the following statement
In general, matter expands when it gains heat. This is because the particles in matter 'swell' in size when they expand.

Answer 1

Answer:

nope

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. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
