How does diffusion occur in liquids and gases?
How does diffusion occur in liquids and gases? In gases and liquids, particles move randomly from place to place. The particles collide with each other or with their container. This makes them change direction. Eventually, the particles are spread through the whole container. Can diffusion happen on a solid in liquid in gas? The spreading […]
