Why do gases diffuse rapidly

Open in App

Solution

Dear student,
The gases diffuse rapidly because they have large intermolecular space and they have the minimum force of attraction between their particles. Thus, they have the very large amount of kinetic energy and the particles move randomly at a very fast speed.Thus, the molecules of the gas diffuse at a faster rate.
Regards
