Diffusion, the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Particles like to move! Because they like to move, they want to spread out as much as possible. Diffusion happens because the particles want to spread into the remaining fluid, (liquid and gas) to an area of low concentration. Another way of thinking, when you spray deodorant, because of the initial pressure that pushes all of the particles out of the can, they spread out in all directions.

Is diffusion faster in liquids?

no fastest in gases


Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?

No, liquids and solids do not diffuse as easily as gases due to their tightly packed molecular structure and lower kinetic energy. Diffusion in liquids is generally slower than in gases, but it can still occur over time. In solids, diffusion is even slower due to the rigid arrangement of molecules.


Why rate of diffusion in liquid is slower than in gases?

The rate of diffusion in liquids is slower than in gases because the particles in liquids are closer together and have stronger intermolecular forces, which hinders their movement compared to gas particles. This results in a slower diffusion rate in liquids.


Does diffusion happen best in liquids?

The rate of diffusion is fastest is gasses, but as we can't see the gases ,it can be seen it liquids, but in liquids the rate of diffusion is comparatively slower than gasses and it can be easily observed....


What is the mixing and spreading of particles in gases and liquids called?

Diffusion


Why do gases show the property of diffusion?

Diffusion occur in all phases.


Does diffusion occur slow or fast?

Diffusion can occur at varying speeds depending on factors such as temperature, concentration gradient, and molecular size. In general, smaller molecules diffuse faster than larger molecules, and higher temperatures typically increase the rate of diffusion.


What is the movement of gases or liquids from a cooler spot to a warmer spot?

Convection is the movement of gases or liquids from a cooler spot to a warmer spot.


Do liquids diffuse fast of slow?

No. Diffusion is faster in gases.


What gases are involved in lung diffusion?

gases 1.oxygen 2.carbon dioxide liquids 1.blood


Which state of matter diffusion would occur faster solid liquid or gas?

Diffusion happens fastest in a gas. Since gases have more space than liquids, molecules are free to move around without colliding into other molecules. The result is that diffusion will happen faster.


What is The moving or mixing of particles?

The movement or mixing of particles is known as diffusion. It is the process by which particles spread out evenly in a space due to their random motion. This can occur in gases, liquids, and solids.
