In general lighter particles should diffuse faster than heavier particles, this could be extrapolated from the relationship to mass, volume, and energy. If we look at particles of all the same, ideal, substance, we would see that an object with less mass would be smaller but would also require less energy to move. That is, at the same temperature a particle of lower mass would move faster than a similar particle of heavier mass. We also see that smaller particles also maximize surface area/mass - this is also conducive to faster diffusion.

What are faster than light particles?
Tachyons are theoretical faster than light particles.
Who'll travel faster heavy or light object?
The results will vary, depending on the specific situation.
Does light sink faster or does heavy sink faster?
How fast something sings has more to do with how dense it is. For instance a coin will sink faster than a magazine weighing much more.
Would light travel faster through space or wind?
It would travel faster through space since there are no particles to get in its way. The wind is an opposing force so it is harder to move faster. The difference between the two would be negligble but specifically, light moves faster through space.
Which particle travels the fastest?
There are some particles that travel at the speed of light - mainly, the photon (the particle that makes up light), and the (hypothetical) graviton. No particles are known to travel faster than that, and it doesn't seem likely that this is at all possible.
What are faster than light particles?
Tachyons are theoretical faster than light particles.
Are the particles move the faster in the light bulb or in a campfire?
Yes, light bulbs have the fastest moving particles.
What is the name of particles that travel faster than light?
neutrinos
Why is diffusion faster in air?
Diffusion of particles is slowed by collisions with other particles in the surrounding area. In a vacuum there are no particles for the diffusing cloud to collide with, thus the rate of diffusion will not slow.
What travels faster than the speed of light?
Tachyons are hypothetical sub atomic particles that can travel faster than the speed of light.
What is more faster then the speed of light?
Theoretically there exist hypothetical particles called tachyons which can travel faster than the speed of light.
Why is it important to monitor turbidity levels of a water system?
Because if you don't, suspended particles can diffuse light and absorb too much heat.
At STP which gas will diffuse more readily than Ne He Ar Kr or Xe?
Helium is lighter than neon and will diffuse faster than neon.
Why can you run faster than you can swim?
Because water is heavy, Air is light.
Are tachyon beams faster than light?
Tachyons are hypothetical particles which can travel faster than light. But since they are so fast, none have been detected so far.
Do gamma particles travel fastest?
Gamma particles are photons - or electromagnetic waves. They travel at the speed of light; nothing can go faster than that.
Diffuse in a sentence?
Light will diffuse when it passes through frosted glass.
