Open in App
Solution

It's gas which diffuses faster .Because ,in liquid it takes some time to diffuse with solids or gas .But in the case of gas it's very fast .Example-the smoke(poisonous gas) from factories diffuses very fast in our atmosphere ,and it causes many problem .

The intermolecular spaces between the particles are largest in a gas, because of which they move randomly with very high speeds. Hence a gas diffuses faster than a liquid.
