What is atomic diffusion?

Atomic diffusion refers to the process where the random thermal agitation of atoms in a solid results in the net transport of atoms. An example would be helium gas escaping from a balloon, which causes it to deflate.


What is an example of a solid dissolved in a solid?

An example of a solid dissolved in a solid is brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. In brass, the atoms of zinc are dissolved into the solid lattice of copper, forming a homogeneous solid solution.


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 blowing up a balloon an example of diffusion?

Blowing up a balloon is not an example of diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while blowing up a balloon involves forcing air into the balloon using pressure.


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 the particles of solid mix by diffusion?

No, the particles of a solid will not mix by diffusion. Diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, but in a solid, the particles are fixed in place and cannot move around to mix with each other.

If a sugar cube is dropped into a cup of hot water and without being stirred all of the liquid becomes sweet tasting. Is this an example of diffusion?

No, this is an example of dissolution rather than diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration, while dissolution is the process of a solid dissolving into a liquid to form a solution.


Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?

Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).
