Most substances increase in temperature and expand when heat is added to them.

Step-by-step explanation:

When heat is added to a substance, the particles(atoms and molecules) of the substance gains energy and start vibrating faster. As they vibrate faster, the space between them increases and the temperature of the substance increases. The motion of the particles and space between them determines the state of the substance.
