This phenomena can be described a number of different ways. The easiest explanation is that gasses dissipate (are distributed evenly) due to the theory of entropy. This theory states that every chemical system, or every natural system, will favor disorder/randomness. To keep unrestrained gasses ordered would require a lot of order, and in order to maintain that order (no pun intended), a lot of energy would need to be expended. Therefore, unless an order is forced onto the system gases will naturally dissipate. Also, it is worth noting that, while on average, gases are evenly distributed in solution, each gas particle is actually traveling randomly, meaning that momentarily, gases may be unequally distributed, but working back towards equilibrium, where they would be dissipated.
When molecules are evenly distributed through a solid, liquid, or gas, we say that the substance is in equilibrium. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid or gas, the molecules move freely and randomly.
This type of mixture is known as a homogeneous mixture. On the other hand, a mixture in which the particles are not distributed evenly is a heterogeneous mixture.
The word you are looking for is "heterogeneous." This term describes a solution where the molecules are not evenly distributed and instead are arranged in different regions or phases within the solution.
Diffusion
In chloroform molecules, the charge is distributed evenly due to the symmetrical arrangement of the atoms within the molecule. The electronegativity of the atoms in chloroform (carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine) is similar, leading to a balanced distribution of electron density. This results in no significant separation of charge within the molecule.
solution
No, the temperature in the layers of the sun's atmosphere is not evenly distributed. The temperature increases with height, transitioning from cooler regions like the photosphere to hotter regions like the corona. This temperature variation is due to the way energy is transported and distributed through the layers of the sun.

It is a homogeneous mixture.
When molecules are evenly distributed through a liquid it is called a homogeneous mixture, or solution. This means that the substances are uniformly spread throughout the liquid and there is no visible distinction between the different components.
Gases are evenly distributed throughout all levels of the atmosphere due to the process of diffusion. This means that gases move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, resulting in a relatively uniform distribution of gases in the atmosphere.

No, carbon dioxide (CO2) does not sink in the air. It is a gas that is evenly distributed throughout the atmosphere.
Diffusion
The kinetic theory explains atmospheric pressure by stating that gas molecules are in constant motion, colliding with each other and the surfaces around them. These collisions create a force that is distributed evenly in all directions, contributing to the pressure exerted by the atmosphere. The more molecules present and the faster they move, the higher the pressure will be.
