It greatly depends on the ambient temperature of whatever is containing them. For example: Liquid Water at 5 degrees Celsius will not spread out nearly as fast as 120 degree steam. If you mean which phase spreads out faster as a collective unit, then it also depends on the substance. Liquid water is visible, and so appears to spread out very fast, versus gases which are invisible and move particle by particle. The fact that you can smell a gas means that many particles are in your vicinity. All in all, it truly depends on the substance and temperature. But more often than not, gases spread out faster when it comes down to particle vs. particle.

Do liquids diffuse fast of slow?

No. Diffusion is faster in gases.


Why is the rate of diffusion of gases more rapid than that of liquids?

Gases diffuse faster than liquids because the intermolecular forces holding gases together are significantly weaker than those holding liquids together. This allows the molecules of the gas to move faster than those of a liquid.


Does sound travel faster through a liquid or gas?

Sound travels faster through liquids than gases because the molecules in liquids are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more quickly.


Why do molecules of gas travel faster than liquids?

Molecules of gas have higher average kinetic energy compared to molecules in liquids, which allows them to move at faster speeds. Additionally, gases have greater spacing between molecules and weaker intermolecular forces, leading to more frequent collisions and higher velocities in gases compared to liquids.


Where does sound travel faster in?

Sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because solids are more densely packed, allowing sound waves to propagate more effectively through their structure.


How liquids change to gases?

What material does sound travel through the fastest?

There are too many 'materials' to list but generally, sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. In other words, the denser the material, the faster sound travels.
