Because diffusion involves the random movement of particles. In a solid, particles cannot move to an area of low concentration as the intermolecular forces are too great. So the particles stay tightly packed in a solid.

Why do solid lack property of diffusion?
The molecules are too tightly bound to one another to be able to move about separately and get through a membrane.
Does diffusion occur slow or fast?
Gases, Liquids, and then Solids.
Why are he rates of diffusion in solids very low?
The rate of diffusion in solids is very low for a few reasons. The particles are very tightly kept in bound positions. They are not free to move around.
What is diffusion in liquid and in gas?
Gases the most, then liquids. Solids generally don't diffuse.
What property of potassium ions allows them to transmit an electrical impulse?
the property is diffusion
What has the author R M Barrer written?
R. M. Barrer has written: 'Diffusion in and through solids' -- subject(s): Diffusion, Solids
Why do solid lack property of diffusion?
The molecules are too tightly bound to one another to be able to move about separately and get through a membrane.
Does convention occurs in solids?
Convection of mass cannot take place in solids, since neither bulk current flows nor significant diffusion can take place in solids. Diffusion of heat can take place in solids, but is referred to separately in that case as heat convection.
What are the movement of particles within solids liquids and gasses?
diffusion.
Does diffusion occur slow or fast?
Gases, Liquids, and then Solids.
Do gases show the property of diffusion?
Yes, gases do show the property of diffusion as its molecules are loosely packed.
What has the author Frank E Jaumot written?
Frank E. Jaumot has written: 'A bibliography of diffusion of gases, liquids and solids in solids, 1890 to 1955' -- subject(s): Abstracts, Bibliography, Diffusion
Why do gases show the property of diffusion?
Diffusion occur in all phases.
Why are he rates of diffusion in solids very low?
The rate of diffusion in solids is very low for a few reasons. The particles are very tightly kept in bound positions. They are not free to move around.
Can diffusion take place in solids liquids gases or all three substances?
Diffusion occurs with all molecules, but for many solids, it is an extraordinarily slow process at normal temperatures. Solids in contact with other solids may exchange a few molecules per second, and some may "jump back" again. The diffusion speed can be increased by raising the substances to high temperatures, giving the exterior molecules greater energy.
Why dosent diffusion take place in solids?
Molecules in a solid are stuck in a matrix or crystal and basically don't move. No motion, no diffusion.
Movement of chemicals from an excess to a lack?
Diffusion
