No, it does not. However, the arrangement of the molecules does. When the temperature is high, the molecules become very energetic and take the form of a gas as they move rapidly around and bounce off each other. When the temperature drops sufficiently, the molecules take on a lattice structure because they are moving too slowly to resist intermolecular forces.

The size of molecule does not change if it's converted to liquid,solid or gas . The arrangement of the molecule will change.

No it doesn't. Only the space in between molecules change. The more it is heated, the more the molecules move, the more the move apart from one another.

No, the size of the molecule will not change. However, the kinetic energy of the molecule will change.
