Why lighter gases diffuse more rapidly than havier gases?
The idea is that they tend to be made up of lighter molecules; on average, these move faster (for a given temperature) than heavier (actually, more massive) molecules.
Why do gases diffuse rapidly while liquids diffuse slowly?
The atomic bonds of gas particles are much weaker than that of liquids, allowing them to diffuse faster
Which of the following subatomic particles are rapidly moving in orbit?
electrons
What are the 6 characteristics of gas?
Gases have no shape; Gases have no volume; are compressible; diffuse rapidly; have low density; and exert pressure.
Why does sound travel faster in helium than in air?
Hydrogen atoms are lighter and move more rapidly.
Why lighter gases diffuse more rapidly than havier gases?

What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
Why do gases diffuse rapidly while liquids diffuse slowly?

Does nitrogen dioxide diffuse faster than neon?
No. Gaseous diffusion is a function of mass, with lighter molecules diffusing more rapidly. Neon (approximate atomic mass of 20) is considerably lighter than nitrogen dioxide (approximate molecular mass 46).
Why is basalt heavier than?
pumice is volcanic ash and it is vesicular. meaning that it has lots of air bubbles in it making it even lighter. basalt is hardened lava. it was exposed and cooled rapidly.

What is heterosphere mean?
The atmosphere above 80km (50 mi) and the homosphere where gases are stratified, with concentrations of the heavier gases decreasing more rapidly with altitude than concentrations of the lighter gases
How do melting particles behave?
The particles are moving rapidly
What happens to temp when particles are spread out and move rapidly?
Particles spread out and move rapidly due to the increase in temperature. Movement of particles is dependent on temperature...not the other way around.
What would happen if the stomata were smaller?
If the stomata were smaller then CO2 would diffuse into the cell less rapidly.
Do lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules?
Yes.
What process is happening when solid?
Particles are vibrating rapidly.
