Technically the particles are moving randomly in all directions, its just that after some time this random movement causes them to spread out, giving the appearance that they are moving directly to the place of lower concentration.

Do you need more detail?

Hope this helps!

How can you tell which direction particles will diffuse in?

Particles will diffuse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration to reach equilibrium. This process is driven by the random motion of particles. The direction of diffusion can be predicted by following the concentration gradient, where particles will move towards areas of lower concentration.


What the property of gas to spread out faster?

Gas particles have high kinetic energy, allowing them to move and spread out quickly. This property is known as diffusion, where gas molecules disperse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration until they are evenly distributed. The rapid and random movement of gas particles enables them to cover larger distances in a shorter amount of time compared to liquids or solids.


Particles naturally travel from areas of?

higher concentration to lower concentration in order to achieve equilibrium. This process is known as diffusion and is driven by the random movement of particles.


If You Could Visualize Osmosis Seeing The Solute And Solvent Particles As Individual Entities What Would An Osmotic Gradient Look Like?

An osmotic gradient would appear as a higher concentration of solute particles on one side and a lower concentration on the other side. You would observe solvent particles moving from the side of lower solute concentration to the side of higher solute concentration to balance out the concentrations. This movement of solvent particles is what drives osmosis.


What do you call the movement of particles from crowded areas to less crowded areas?

This movement of particles is called diffusion, where particles tend to move from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

For diffusion to occur there must be?

For diffusion to occur there needs to be a concentration gradient. Which means that the concentrations on the two sides must be different. In diffusion the particles flow from high concentration to low concentration.


Difusion is the movement of particles from an area of?

higher concentration to a area of lower concentration


When one side of the membrane has a higher concentration of particles then the other side of the membrane what happens?

Particles will move from the side with higher concentration to the side with lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. This process is called diffusion and it helps to equalize the concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane.


What is the next movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?

Diffusion

What happens when water particles move from a place where their concentration is higher to a place where their concentration is lower?

Osmosis


What means from higher concentration to lower concentration?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules (only) from an area of higher concentration to an area of low concentration.


What particle movement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process is driven by the natural tendency of particles to spread out and achieve equilibrium.


What is the continuous movement of particles but no overall change in concentration?

This is known as diffusion. Diffusion is the process by which particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, leading to a uniform distribution of particles.


Is a plant that contains chlorophyll a diffusion?

No. Diffusion is the process in which particles move from where they are in higher concentration to where they are in lower concentration.
