Question

Liquids diffuse slowly as compared to gases because:

• A. the molecules are held together by strong inter molecular forces
• B. the molecules of liquids are heavy
• C. liquid have definite shape
• D. the molecules of liquids undergo large number of collisions with the neighbouring molecules

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

the molecules of liquids undergo large number of collisions with the neighbouring molecules

When liquids start diffusing, they collide with pther liquid molecules as because the intermolecular spaces are less in liquids than gases. So, liquids diffuse slowly as compared to gases.
