It is the concentration difference.If H+ concentration high in a place and low in another place,there is a H+ gradient.
The difference in concentration of a substance across a space is called a concentration gradient. It represents the change in concentration over a given distance and drives processes like diffusion and osmosis. Substances move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration along the concentration gradient to achieve equilibrium.
A concentration gradient is a representatinve of energy storage. ATP the energy currency of the cell will require this conc. gradient for its formation. HIgher the conc. gradient the higher will be the stored energy and high the no of ATP can be formed.
H plus ions would not flow
A gradient forms when there is a difference in concentration between two places. This gradient drives the movement of substances from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration through processes such as diffusion or osmosis.
Going with the concentration gradient is basically the process of diffusion. Molecules going from a low concentration to a high concentration would be going with the concentration gradient. Going against the concentration gradient would be the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration
High concentration of H+ ion in the intermembrane lead to the movement of H+ ions into the inner membrane
The intermembrane space of the mitochondria stores a high concentration of H plus ions. This creates a proton gradient that drives the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
By the action of electrons going down the electron transfer chain the energy is provided to pump H + into the outer lumen of the mitochondria creating the concentration gradient for H + to come down it's concentration gradient through the ATP synthase.

they are part of the electron transport chain and they are involved with the pumps that create the concentration gradient of H+

If you carefully put a drop of food coloring in a large container, you will notice that it will begin to move away from the place where the drop began. It actually, over a long time, it will diffuse all through the container. If the container is very large you may not even see the color any more. Since it moves away from the main drop, it is moving down the concentration gradient.
The difference in concentration of a substance across space is called a concentration gradient. This gradient drives the movement of molecules from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration through processes like diffusion or active transport.
