Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
selectively permeable
osmotically active
Lipid-soluble molecules such as O2 and CO2 diffuse freely through the plasma membrane.
Diffusion of gases easily occurs across a membrane. The gases will have to be converted into liquids so as to diffuse easily.
Ions can't diffuse across membranes, they must used channels to transport across

CO2, H2O, and O2 can all diffuse across a cell membrane. Also, small polar molecules (uncharged) and hydrocarbons easily diffuse across.
