generally it depends on particles size.
like sugar particle size can fit between the particles of water.
there is less intermolecular space between particles of water than in air so particles of solid and liquid are packed tightly.
and some solids diffuse in air because they need more intermolecular space that air can provide but water can not.

thank u pls give more points
it also depends kinetic energy of particles(how fast the particles move and how fast diffusion takes place)
thanks
from where did u get ans
i know it.
very helpful
for project
add some more points
please
urgent project work

Solids diffusion in liquids is a normal phenomenon. This depends on the particle size of both solute and solvent.
If the molecular gap between solvent's atom is greater than the whole particle size of solute's atom, then the solid solute easily dissolves into liquid solvent.
But in other gases some solids directly dissolves into gas. This phenomenon is known as sublimation.
By this thermodynamic process the Latin heat is absorbed from the atmosphere by the solute and vaporizes directly in air.
