They do so in all (3) 'states of matter' (gas, liquid, solid) but their freedom in movement is very different, as is the mean distance between molecules or atoms (if you compare for instance liquid or solid with gas).
However, all particles are evenly spread when 'in one particular state of matter'.
Equilibrium
Equilibrium
Diffusion
The process is called Diffusion. This is why when you spray air freshener in a room it will eventually fill it.
In a homogeneous mixture particles are spread evenly.
The bonds between molecules are weakened.
Equilibrium
Difusion in air. Osmosis in water.
Diffusion
Diffusion; to spread out evenly into water or airmolecules spread out from area of HIGH conc to area of LOW consuntil spread out evenlyEquilibrium : balance achieved between forces causing the stuff to spreadheat usually, hotter gives faster diffusionConcentration Gradient: gradual change in the amount of material dissolvedspread from higher to lower until evenly diffused
Diffusion
A homogeneous solution is formed when diffusion has occurred and molecules are spread out evenly in all directions. It has uniform composition and properties throughout the solution.
Dye molecules spread in water through a process called diffusion, where they move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration until they are evenly distributed.
When molecules engage in diffusion, they move from being in a condensed collection to more spread out. If they are completely evenly spread out, this is called equilibrium.
Diffusion and osmosis ( movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration until evenly spread.)
Diffusion is the movement of particles/molecules from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area until they are evenly spread.
When water is in its gaseous form, the molecules are spread far apart and moving very quickly. In the liquid form, molecules are spread evenly and move at an average speed. In its solid form, the molecules are very close together and move very slowly.
The process is called Diffusion. This is why when you spray air freshener in a room it will eventually fill it.
