Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change intemperature.[1] All materials have this tendency. When a substance is heated‚ its particles begin moving more and thus usually maintain a greater average separation. Materials which contract with increasing temperature are rare; this effect is limited in size‚ and only occurs within limited temperature ranges. The degree of expansion divided by the change in temperature is called the material’s coefficient
