Diffusion Flashcards
1
Q
What is diffusion
A
Movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
This is a passive procces(requires no energy)
2
Q
Can it diffuse
A
solids-in general no unless it is dissolved
Liquids-yes they can
Gases-yes they can
3
Q
Reason
A
In solids the particles are not able to move around so they don’t diffuse
In liquids and in gases the particles are able to move around this means that they can diffuse
