Solution

The correct option is B False

Do you know what Diffusion is?

Diffusion is the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration (or high chemical potential) to a region of low concentration (or low chemical potential).

Now, think if this happens in liquids.

Can’t think of an example?

Think about releasing a drop of ink in water.

The colour spreads uniformly throughout the water.

Therefore, Liquids diffuse but the diffusion is much slower than gases.
