Answer:
The atoms themselves do not expand, but the volume they take up does. When a solid is heated, its atoms vibrate faster about their fixed points. The relative increase in the size of solids when heated is therefore small.

When the solid is heated, the heat which is also a form of energy is gained by the atoms of the solids and this heat energy is transferred to adjacent atoms of the solids by the neighboring atoms.Hence, the solids on heating expands due to increase in kinetic energy of the atoms.
