A metal sphere just barely fits through a metal ring at room temperature. After heating the metal sphere over a flame for two minutes, it no longer fits through the ring. What happened to the particles inside the metal sphere?

Heating added new metal particles, increasing the total weight of the sphere. Heating caused the metal particles to absorb energy, vibrate faster, and spread further apart. Heating melted the outer layer of the sphere into a thicker gas layer. Heating transformed the metal particles into larger non-metal atoms.

Correct Answer:

Heating caused the metal particles to absorb energy, vibrate faster, and spread further apart.
