Question

why do liquids show the phenomenon of diffusion to more extent than solids

Answer 1

Because the molecules in liquids are packed distant from each molecule(there is gap between each molecule).Diffusion occurs more extently in liquids because diffusion depends on molecular space.But in solids molecules are tightly packed(there is a little internal space).So in solids diffusion occurs slowly.

Answer 2

Hello yaar,

Liquids show the phenomenon of diffusion to more extent that solids. Diffusion is a process in which sprading of substance takes place. This is faster in liquids because the intermolecular spaces is more than that of solids.
