Can heat expand the the size of gold??

Dear student,
Yes, heat can expand the size of gold.This is because when a material is heated, the kinetic energy of the material increases which leads to the increase in the movement of the atoms more. Thus, each and every atom will require more space to move. Therefore, the material for example gold will expand when heated.

Hope this will clear your doubts about the topic.
