Question

some solids diffuse in liquids but not in gasses,some solids diffuse in gases but not in liquids.why?

Answer 1

This is because the particles in liquids can move around each other, which means that eventually they are evenly mixed. ... Diffusion in liquids is slower than diffusion in gases because the particles in a liquid move more slowly.

Answer 2

Answer:

generally it depends on particles size. ... 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
