2. 5.1 Thermal expansion of
solids, liquids and gases
1. Describe qualitatively the thermal expansion of
solids, liquids and gases.
2. Explain in terms of motion and arrangement of
molecules the relative order of magnitude of the
expansion

solids, liquids and gases
3. Identify and explain some of the everyday
applications & consequences of thermal expansion.
4. Describe qualitatively the effect of a change of
temperature on the volume of a gas at constant
pressure.
