Want this question answered?
The idea is that they tend to be made up of lighter molecules; on average, these move faster (for a given temperature) than heavier (actually, more massive) molecules.
they take a longer time to diffuse than gases because the particles are packed more tightly together. If your doing science, I would just say they take longer than gases and act slower
Gas particles can move around more that liquid particles. Thus making it quicker for gas to diffuse.
because when the atoms meet up in the gases they separate and form more gases of matter. that's basically it!

Gases have more energy than liquids so they expand more quickly

In liquid, there is less space to move so collisions are more frequent between the molecules causing a slower diffusion rate. The opposite happens in gases. There is more space in gases. As a result, there are less collisions between the molecules causing a faster diffusion rate. Other factors that may have an affect on diffusion rates are temperature, mass of the molecule, volume/surface area, and medium used.
Smaller molecules diffuse readily.

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.
Yes.
Gases will naturally diffuse away, however more will diffuse back. Compression will decrease the amount of gas trapped at any one time.
less quickly

No. The gas phase is generally less dense than the liquid phase.
The atmosphere above 80km (50 mi) and the homosphere where gases are stratified, with concentrations of the heavier gases decreasing more rapidly with altitude than concentrations of the lighter gases
