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.
