Molecules in a solid are stuck in a matrix or crystal and basically don't move. No motion, no diffusion.

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.


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.


How long does it take for solids to diffuse?

The time it takes for solids to diffuse depends on various factors such as the size of the particles, temperature, concentration gradient, and the medium in which diffusion is taking place. In general, diffusion of solids can be a slow process compared to liquids or gases due to the limited movement of solid particles.
