When you open a bottle of perfume why can you smell it from the other side of the room?

Answer 1

everything is made up of particles- the air, and every gas, liquid and solid there is. that includes your perfume and the air around it. the particles in gas are very spread out, allowing more particles from elsewhere to diffuse around them, and possible mix with them. As perfume is sprayed, the particles will turn into a gas, colliding and mixing with the air particles. As the particles in gas are far apart from each other the particles from the perfume are allowed though the particles, spreading out (diffusing) all over the room. The particles are obviously scented, so that's that.

Hope that makes sense...

Answer 2

That is the gas that is released from the bottle spreading to fit the container it is in (i.e your house or the outside world). If a gas gets spread too much the smell will die down because it is no longer all together and it is weak. I hope this helped :)

Answer 3

perfume can be smelled because it is volatile substance(substances that change into vapour state easily at room temperature). The particles of perfume get mixed with particles of air through process of diffusion and spread in room and we can smell it

Answer 4

The molecules of the perfume have evaporated and spread out in the air, from the area of greatest concentration to the areas of less concentration, the process known as diffusion.

Answer 5

Because when u first spray it the particles are all clumped together then they slowly disperse to areas with less concentration

Answer 6

because air has a big surface area and helps to diffuse it so perfume will spread to the whole of the room

Answer 7

Simply because the scent molecules travel with the air in the room. People moving in the room create mild air currents (similar to wind). The scent moves with the air.
