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.
Diffusion in gases is quick because the particles in a gas move quickly. It happens even faster in hot gases.
In other states of matter diffusion cannot happen as fast because the particles move more slowly i.e. in a liquid
Diffusion doesn't happen at all in a solid because the particles are too close together. The only way they move is by vibrating.

In a gas the particles can move about more freely and randomly. As a result, diffusion in gases happens much faster than that in liquids. :)
diffusion is directly proportional to the free movements of the substance and gases have a higher entropy and this free movement of molecules makes diffusion faster.
Rate of diffusion of gases is faster than liquids or solids because of the lack of intermolecular forces holding gas molecules together, and thus the faster movement of the molecules.
The molecules in a gas are very distant from each other.
The density of gases is very low.
The rate of diffusion in liquids slower than that of gases because gases have low density and its float in the air.
Diffusion of particles is slowed by collisions with other particles in the surrounding area. In a vacuum there are no particles for the diffusing cloud to collide with, thus the rate of diffusion will not slow.
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.
As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, so the rate of diffusion also increases.
diffusion happen because of the motion of the gas particle which they are travelling faster than the particles in solid and liquid and the different atomic mass of the gases
The rate of diffusion in liquids slower than that of gases because gases have low density and its float in the air.
no fastest in gases
Diffusion of particles is slowed by collisions with other particles in the surrounding area. In a vacuum there are no particles for the diffusing cloud to collide with, thus the rate of diffusion will not slow.
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely related to the molecular weight of that gas. The lighter the gas, the faster it diffuses. Hydrogen is the lightest of all gases having a molecular weight of only 2. Thus it diffuses faster than all others.
rate of diffusion is inversely proposnal to density, density of gas is less. so diffusion rate is high
The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
The greater the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of diffusion.
The greater the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of diffusion.
Molecular Diffusion Of Light
The higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion
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.
No. Diffusion is faster in gases.
