Diffusion
Factors affecting diffusion rate in various states of matter and their impact on particle movement
• Diffusion is the movement of particles from high to low concentration areas, influenced by several key factors.
• Temperature, particle size, and the state of the diffusing substance significantly affect diffusion rates.
• Understanding these factors is crucial for explaining natural phenomena and optimizing processes in science and industry.

This page delves deeper into how the state of the diffusing substance affects the rate of diffusion, particularly focusing on the differences between liquids and gases.
The physical state of a substance plays a crucial role in determining its diffusion rate. This factor is particularly important when considering diffusion in liquids and gases.
Highlight: Gases diffuse faster than liquids, while solids generally do not diffuse.
The page includes diagrams illustrating the differences in particle arrangement and movement for liquids and gases:
Vocabulary: Particle arrangement - The way in which particles are organized within a substance, which varies depending on its state of matter.
Understanding these differences in diffusion in solids, liquids, and gases is crucial for explaining various natural phenomena and for applications in fields such as chemistry, biology, and environmental science. It helps explain, for instance, why odors spread more quickly in air than flavors do in water, or why certain substances are more effective when delivered in gaseous form rather than as liquids.

Diffusion is a fundamental process in nature, defined as the movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. This page explores the concept of diffusion and the key factors that influence its rate.
Definition: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
The particle model is used to demonstrate diffusion visually, showing how particles spread out over time from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
Several factors play a crucial role in determining how temperature affects the rate of diffusion and other aspects of this process:
Vocabulary: Kinetic energy - The energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
Understanding these factors is essential for predicting and explaining diffusion rates in various scientific and practical applications.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
