Solution

  • Diffusion is the process of movement of particles of a substance from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
  • The particle of the fragrance of an incense stick spreads quickly because it moves continuously in all directions.
  • The intermolecular spaces between air molecules are really large so that the particles of fragrance can easily occupy the spaces between them.

Therefore, the fragrance of a burning incense stick spreads all around due to diffusion.
