Answer:
Diffusion occurs quickly in a gas than in a liquid because the space between the constituent particles in gases are higher than in liquids. Thus particles in gas possess higher kinetic energy and move with higher speeds.

The answers to the given question is as follow:
- Solids disperse slower than gases. This is due to the fact that particles in gases have a large volume, allowing them to move freely.
- Alternatively, in comparison to solids, the intermolecular interactions between particles in a gas are extremely weak. As a result, particles are free over a distance known as the mean free path.
- Solid particles, on the other hand, are held together by a strong link (force). As a result, they are unable to move freely. Instead, they sway back and forth in their equilibrium. As a result, solid particles move far more slowly than gas particles.
Thus, the answer to the question is as stated above.
