a solid is made up of particles that are held tightly and have very strong intermolecular forces of attraction and less free space so the particles are not in motion. when dissolved in liquid they tend to fill in the spaces present between liquid particles and hence diffusion occurs.

What is diffusion is it liquid?

Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It occurs in liquids, gases, and solids, as long as there is a concentration gradient present.


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.


What is an example of a solid diffusion?

An example of a solid diffusion is when sugar dissolves into hot coffee. The sugar particles move from an area of high concentration (the sugar crystals) to an area of low concentration (the coffee), spreading evenly throughout the liquid.


What is the temperature at which a crystalline solid becomes a liquid?

The temperature at which a crystalline solid becomes a liquid is called the melting point. It is the specific temperature at which the solid transitions into a liquid state, with the intermolecular forces holding the solid lattice structure being overcome.


How would you characterize the diffusion of solid liquid and gas?

In a solid, particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, particles are close but can move past each other. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.

What is the spreading out of a substance?

A non-solid. The particles are really spread out in a gas, and less spread-out in a liquid.
