Simple diffusion is defined as the movement of: A molecules from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
Explanation:
Diffusion
It is the movement of substances from the region of higher concentration to lower concentration .
This diffusion is shown almost negligible by solids , a little by liquids and maximum by gases .
The factors on which diffusion depends :
- Inter-molecular force between particles : It is inversely proportional to diffusion .That is : more is the force , lesser the diffusion rate
- Inter-molecular space between particles : More is the space , more is the diffusion or vice versa .
- Density of substance :More is the density , less is the diffusion or vice versa .
Applications of diffusion
It helps in the movement of substance in and out from the cell and its components .
It helps in spreading the fragrance when sprayed with some perfume etc .
It helps in dissolving substance in any medium
Etc
