Diffusion is the movement of molecules through a gradient. A solid state is one where there is no movement of constituent parts. By definition, diffusion cannot take place in a solid state.

∙ 15y agoYes.Diffusion Happens with all three states of matter. Hope this helps!
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe atoms in a solid are tightly bound to one another; diffusion requires more movement.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agobecause solids have strong bonds and so the particles don't move (I'm 11 so don't expect much)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agobecause their molicules are to compacted to form defusion in space

Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?
Covalent bonding does happen in solids. Caffeine is a solid. so are most organic molecules.
When and where does diffusion happen?
diffusion can happen either in gases or liquids. it happens when a high concentration of something appears and it spreads out until an equilibrium is reached.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
Why does diffusion happen when gases are mixed?
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
Why is diffusion slowest in solids and fastest in gas?
Maybe its the slowest in solids because the particles on it is compressed or tightly squeezed.While in gas, they are the fastest because the particles moves freely because gas is the most spacious matter of the 4.
What has the author R M Barrer written?
R. M. Barrer has written: 'Diffusion in and through solids' -- subject(s): Diffusion, Solids
Does convention occurs in solids?
Convection of mass cannot take place in solids, since neither bulk current flows nor significant diffusion can take place in solids. Diffusion of heat can take place in solids, but is referred to separately in that case as heat convection.
What are the movement of particles within solids liquids and gasses?
diffusion.
Does diffusion occur slow or fast?
Gases, Liquids, and then Solids.
What has the author Frank E Jaumot written?
Frank E. Jaumot has written: 'A bibliography of diffusion of gases, liquids and solids in solids, 1890 to 1955' -- subject(s): Abstracts, Bibliography, Diffusion
Why are he rates of diffusion in solids very low?
The rate of diffusion in solids is very low for a few reasons. The particles are very tightly kept in bound positions. They are not free to move around.
Can diffusion take place in solids liquids gases or all three substances?
Diffusion occurs with all molecules, but for many solids, it is an extraordinarily slow process at normal temperatures. Solids in contact with other solids may exchange a few molecules per second, and some may "jump back" again. The diffusion speed can be increased by raising the substances to high temperatures, giving the exterior molecules greater energy.
Why dosent diffusion take place in solids?
Molecules in a solid are stuck in a matrix or crystal and basically don't move. No motion, no diffusion.
What is diffusion in liquid and in gas?
Gases the most, then liquids. Solids generally don't diffuse.
Why does diffusion happen in capillaries?
Capillaries must allow diffusion too allow for exchange of oxygen. Without oxygen, the eventual consequence would be death.
Why does covalent bonding not happen in solids?
Covalent bonding does happen in solids. Caffeine is a solid. so are most organic molecules.
Why liquid diffuse faster than solids?
Because molecules in a liquid are not bound the way they are in solids and they can move freely so diffusion happens faster too.
