Why liquids diffuse slowly as compared to gases?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Diffusion**: - Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. 2. **Molecular Arrangement in Gases vs. Liquids**: - In gases, the molecules are far apart from each other, which allows them to move freely and quickly. - In liquids, the molecules are much closer together, which restricts their movement. ...
