Diffusion occurs because particles in a gas or liquid possess kinetic energy and move randomly, leading to an equal distribution over time.
Diffusion occurs because particles in a gas or liquid possess kinetic energy and move randomly, leading to an equal distribution over time.

|---|---|
| Back | - Particles in gas/liquid state have KE, random movement means unequal distribution becomes equal |
