Diffusion

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration down a concentration gradient. The rate of diffusion is affected by several factors including concentration gradient, temperature, and the relative molecular masses of the diffusing substances. Lighter molecules with higher kinetic energy will diffuse more rapidly than heavier ones with lower kinetic energy. Examples of diffusion occurring in solids, liquids, and gases are provided.
