The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of solid is greater than liquid and due to this minimum space is found between the particles of solid. That's why liquids diffuse much faster than solids.

How much faster does helium diffuse than oxygen?

Not much faster, but it does diffuse faster than helium because it is lighter.


Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?

No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.


Why do gases diffuse rapidly while liquids diffuse slowly?

Gases have higher kinetic energy and move more freely in all directions compared to liquids, which are more tightly packed. This allows gas particles to spread out more quickly and cover a larger area, resulting in faster diffusion. In contrast, liquids have lower kinetic energy and experience more intermolecular forces, leading to a slower diffusion rate.


How are the particles in a solid liquids and a gas different?

The particles in a gas move faster and are full of energy. However the particles in a solid do not have as much energy and vibrate in place -Baarkullah Awan


Will sound travel faster in solid or air?

Much faster in a solid


Why diffusion rates of liquids are much less than diffusion rates of gasses?

Liquids diffuse at a slower rate than do gases because they have much less kinetic energy.

Why diffusion of liquids is faster than solids?

In the liquid state, particles move freely,the particles are not closely packed they can slip and slide on each other and have greater space between them as, compared to solids.ORThe intermolecular space is more in liquids than in solids and so, it can difusse faster.That is why rate of difussion in liquids is higher than that of solids.


Is it true that solids can often diffuse into a liquid but cannot diffuse into another solid?

Yes Diffusion is mainly gases property Diffusion is shown also by liquids but much less than the gases Liquids diffuse from solutions of higher concentration to solutions of lower concentration So the driving force for the diffusion is concentration difference. Rate of Diffusion depends on liquid`s viscosity,temperature etc. depends on what is the liquid however. (oil and water dont) examples food coloring in water. liquid chocolate in milk.


Will sound travel faster in solid liquid or gas?

Sound is a compression wave that travels via then vibrations of particles. If the particles are closer together then the wave (sound) moves faster. Particles are closer together in a liquid than a gas, therefore sound travels faster through liquids.


What advantages do gas molecule have over solid and liquid?

Gas molecules have more freedom of movement compared to those in solids or liquids, allowing gases to expand and fill the available space. Gas molecules can also diffuse easily through other substances due to their higher kinetic energy. Additionally, gas molecules have lower intermolecular forces, making them more compressible than liquids or solids.


Why a crushed solid reacts with a gas more quickly than a large chunk of the same solid?

When a solid is crushed, its surface area increases, providing more contact points for the gas molecules to collide and react with. This leads to a faster reaction rate compared to a solid chunk with a smaller surface area. By increasing the surface area, the crushed solid allows for more efficient and quicker interactions between the solid and the gas.
