Gas and liquid particles can diffuse because they are free to move around unlike solid particles that can only vibrate on the spot but cannot move from place to place.

Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?

No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.


Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?

No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles


What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?

Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly


Why do gases diffuse rapidly while liquids diffuse slowly?

The atomic bonds of gas particles are much weaker than that of liquids, allowing them to diffuse faster


What happens when particles diffuse?

They spread out and equalize to the source of the diffusion.

What is a diffuse nebulae?

In astronomy, diffuse nebulae is the general term for illuminated nebulae. The three types of diffuse nebulae are reflection nebulae, emission nebulae and supernova remnants. They are diffuse as opposed to the non-diffuse dark nebulae, i.e. the particles have spread out.


Why the particles of potassium permanganate diffuse in hot water faster?

coz they suck


How can solids diffuse?

I'm not quite sure liquids diffuse. but gases do an example would be if something was burning in your house you would be able to smell it up the street. The particles move from a high to a low concentration. In other words move from a place where there are lots of the particles to a place where there isn't many of the particles to almost even it out. The particles have lots of space between them to move around. Bumping into each other they create kinetic energy. This means they are able to move around.


Which gas from among methane and hydrogen will diffuse the fastest and why?

Hydrogen will diffuse faster. It's particles are smaller, so with the same kinetic energy they move faster.
