Answer B, its shape will change. The volume cannot change if nothing is being removed or added to the piece of matter. For example if you have a solid piece of ice and it defrosts its particle distance increases and it becomes water. If it is in a container it just fills the container to the appropriate level unless it more is added or removed. Hope that helped

A. If the the average separation between each particle and its nearest neighbor is increased, the volume of the entire assemblage must increase because the same mass now has a lower density, and
volume = mass / density
There's no requirement about whether the shape will or won't change.

(A)
assuming the distance to increase in all the directions, the shape shud remain unchanged. For example, take a cube and change increase all the sides, u will find it to be still a cube but just bigger. The same thing will happen. The shape will remain unchanged but the volume will increase

I think it's C because when the space between it's particles increase its logical that it's volume will change and the shape will change too because the matter will become liquid and if the space between the particles will increase again the liquid will become gas.

As you improve temperature of a gasoline, you improve the quantity and as a result ought to improve the gap between the debris. a similar element occurs for solids and drinks yet on a lots smaller scale

i assume by particles u mean molecules.
on the space between molecules increasing, it may expand and it may lose shape as it melts or evaporates.
ans: c
