notion academy on Instagram: "Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change its shape, area, volume, and density in response to a change in temperature. When a substance is heated, its molecules vibrate more vigorously, pushing each other further apart and causing the material to expand. ​1. The Kinetic Perspective ​At the microscopic level, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules. ​Heating: As kinetic energy increases, atoms oscillate with greater amplitu
