On very warm days, Abby noticed that a metal door fits tightly in its frame and is tough to open. On very cold days, however, Abby noticed the door opens easily. Which choice best explains these differences.
changing temperatures cause atoms in the metal to become larger or smaller
cold temperatures cause atoms in the metal to merge together and warm daily temperatures cause atoms in the metal to split apart and become gas
temperature differences effect the molecular energy of atoms in the metal and they 'slow down' and move closer together or 'speed up' and move farther apart
the door freezes on cold days and is opens freely on warm days
