Define diffusion.


Open in App
Solution

Diffusion - The process that allows the mixing of molecules of one substance with those of another substance on their own is called diffusion.

  • The property of diffusion is best observed in gases.
  • Liquids also show the property of diffusion but are not as good as gases.

For example - When we light an incense stick the aroma travels from one corner to another corner of the room quickly.
