Solution

  1. The diffusion rate of liquids is higher than that of solids.
  2. This is due to the fact that in the liquid state, particles move freely.
  3. In addition, they have considerably more space between each other as compared to particles in the solid state.
  4. Hence liquid has a higher rate of diffusion than solids.
