2
Q
Weak forces and high energy
A
A lot of movement of particles
3
Q
Strong forces and low energy
A
Movement of particles restricted
4
Q
In which states of matter can diffusion occur?
A
Liquids and gases.
5
Q
What is diffusion?
A
A process whereby particles in liquids and gases move (separate and spread) from a highly-concentrated area to an area with a lower concentration of those particles.
6
