Is it because to start with the particles in a liquid are more spread out so when heat is added to them they expand even more? Please help... got a test.

The molecules of a solid are arranged in a tightly-packed, ordered lattice. The molecules experience some motion, but not much. It would be fair to say they have a greater attraction between themselves than do the molecules of liquids or gases. This is what gives matter classified as a solid its physical characteristics of being "solid": its molecules don't separate from each other. Liquids, on the other hand, have some attraction for each other, but their molecules are not arranged in the tightly constructed lattice solids have. A liquid's molecules will have a definite volume, but will assume the shape of the container they occupy. This is in direct contrast to the molecules of a solid which has both definite volume and definite shape. The molecules of a gas have no attraction between them whatsoever. Gases have neither definite volume nor definite shape. So, seeing the differences between the molecules of solids, liquids, and gases as they occur normally, when you add heat to the mix, it accentuates the properties that already exist The solids molecules will expand a little, but remain relatively close together, while the liquids molecules will expand even more so
hope it help

hey friend here is your answer
Heat causes the molecules move faster,( heat energy is converted to kinetic energy) which mean the volume of gas increase more than a volume of liquid. However, gases that are contained in a fixed volume cannot expand- and so increase in temperature increase in result of pressure
