Liquid expands by Diffusion. Its simple Middle school science. To be more precise, its osmosis. As water moves from place to place there becomes more water "Molecules" Its impossible though for liquid (water to expand). It just takes the form of what it is in. There is no way you can gain unless you add more to it physically. I'm a Middle Schooler. It's simple Science!

Is liquid expand when heated?
Yes, in general a liquid will expand when heated. They contract when they are cooled.
What happen to the liquid in a thermometer when it gets warm?
The liquid expand from heat. We use these expansion to indicate temperature. Common thermometer liquid is Mercury and alcohol.
Does a liquid expand when frozen?
No. Most liquids contract when they freeze. Water is unique in that it expands.
Does a liquid take up a different amount of space than gas in a container?
Gas will always fill any container that it is in, since it will expand to fill any available space. Liquid does not expand, it has a fixed volume, therefore depending upon how much liquid you pour into your container, the container may or may not be filled.
How does paper towel absorbs liquids?
Paper towel is pourous and able to expand when absorbing liquid so that the liquid is held inside the cavities of the cellulose material.

Expand Slightly

Wich state of matter expands the most when heated?
gas expand more than liquid and liquid expand more than solid.

Which of these does not expand liquid solid or gas?
All of them can expand - for example, when they are heated. Gases usually expand more than solids or liquids.
Does water expand or contract when it changes from liquid to solid?
when a liquid turns into a solid it contracts
Which liquid expand on heating?
All liquids expand on heating (apart from water between 0oC to 4oC)
What do most substances like the liquid in a thermometer do when they are heated?
expand
How does a liquid in a glass thermometer?
the heat makes it expand you see
Why does the liquid expand in a thermometer when it gets hotter?
In a thermometer is a liquid metal called Mercury, so the liquid expands when it is heated up.
