MCQ
Expansion during heating
  • A
    Occurs only in solids
  • B
    Increases the weight of a material
  • Decreases the density of a material
  • D

Answer

Correct option: C.
Decreases the density of a material
c
(c) Solids, liquids and gases all expand on being heated as result density $(=$ mass$/$volume$)$ decreases.
