Write the correct statement: Diffusion is maximum in solids due to more space for them.

Open in App

Solution

Diffusion is the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration as a result of the random motion of the molecules or atoms.
Solid particles do not diffuse each other.
Particles in solid closely packed there is less vacant space so particles can only vibrate and cannot move from one place to another.
Thus, the correct statement is
Diffusion is maximum in gases due to more space for them.
