How does diffusion affect solids
liquids
gases
does not happen in solids - cannot move
happens in liquids - moves with particles
happens in gases - moves with particles
give an everyday example of diffusion
stink bomb
smell particles move
solid
a state of matter thats particles are closely squashed together
liquid
a state of matter thats particles are closed to each other but free to move past each other
gas
a state of matter thats particles are free to move in all directions.
condensing
reducing to another and denser form, as a gas or vapor to a liquid or solid state.
evaporating
changing from a liquid or solid state into vapor; pass off in vapor.
