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.

Why do gases diffuse rapidly while liquids diffuse slowly?
The atomic bonds of gas particles are much weaker than that of liquids, allowing them to diffuse faster
What are the 6 characteristics of gas?
Gases have no shape; Gases have no volume; are compressible; diffuse rapidly; have low density; and exert pressure.
Gases diffuse most efficiently across what?
Diffusion of gases easily occurs across a membrane. The gases will have to be converted into liquids so as to diffuse easily.
what are the gases diffuse at lowest rate?
gases with the higher molar mass
How do gases diffuse in and out of plants?
no idea=D

What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
What is heterosphere mean?
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
Why nitrogen diffuse faster than chlorine?
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of that gas. So, lighter gases will diffuse faster than heavier gases. The molar mass for N2 gas is 28 g/mole and that for Cl2 gas is about 71 g/mol, so N2 will diffuse faster.
Gases diffuse most efficiently across what?
Diffusion of gases easily occurs across a membrane. The gases will have to be converted into liquids so as to diffuse easily.
Do hydrogen and oxygen diffuse?
All gases diffuse to a homogenous phase.
Why the dead body float on water?
Many gases produce in body of human. When the man die the water enter the human body and there is no way for air to diffuse out of the human body .As the gasesare lighter so they try to diffuse out of the water due to this the dead body floats on water
what are the gases diffuse at lowest rate?
gases with the higher molar mass
Does hydrogen gas rise in air?
Yes. Hydrogen is a gas, and all gases tend to diffuse. Whether or not air is present is irrelevant.
What gases diffuses most rapidly at stp?
diffusion is dependent on chemical reactivity (can't diffuse if you're in a bond) and mass. So the lightest most un-reactive gases will diffuse the quickest. Helium would seem to be the best contender. diffusion is dependent on chemical reactivity (can't diffuse if you're in a bond) and mass.
