Movement of molecules from an area that is highly concentrated to a region that is lower in concentration down through the concentration gradient is diffusion. Here, molecules unite due to kinetic energy of random motion. The process of diffusion takes place in gases and liquids as their molecules move in a random motion. Molecules are in motion until the concentration level at both the higher and lower level equalizes in the medium.
