In Section 5.2, we discussed the phenomenon of thermal expansion. Concept Map 5.4 was to have been used to help you organize and understand this material better. When the map was printed, however, we realized that several key concepts and linking words and phrases had been left out, because it was too late to make any changes in the book+it now becomes your task to complete the map, entering the missing information in the appmpriate places. If you have any trouble doing so, review the reading on thermal expansion and make a lank-ordered list of the important concepts you find there. Use the list in addressing the omissions in the map provided.
