Answer 1

Required Answer:-

The smell of incense stick is actually the vapour of the volatile solid particles sticked to the incense stick. Now, why they spread over an area?

• Near the incense stick, the vapour is at high concentration and slowly diffuses towards the other areas of low concentration of vapour$.$

• This is a passive movement where the particles moves from higher to lower concentration. It is also known as diffusion.

Hence, the property that is responsible for the above phenomenon is known as diffusion and the state of matter which exhibits it the most is the gaseous state.
