उत्तर
Gases diffuse fastest and solids diffuse slowest when we compare solids, liquids and gases.
Explanation: Gases diffuse fast because the force of attraction between their particles is very low or negligible and there are vast spaces between the particles. The force of attraction between the particles of solids is very strong and there is no space between the particles due to their compact arrangement. As a result, rate of diffusion in solids is slowest.

Look at the diagram on the right side. Jar A contains a red-brown gas whereas jar B contains a colourless gas. The two gas jars are separated by a galas plate placed between them
- What will happen when the glass plate between the two jars is pulled away?
- What name is given to the phenomenon which takes place?
- Name the brown gas which could be in jar A.
- Which is the colourless gas most likely to be present in jar B?
- Name one coloured solid and one colourless liquid which can show the same phenomenon.
A student placed a gas jar containing air in the upside down position over a gas jar full of red-brown bromine vapours. He observed that the red-brown colour spread upwards into the jar containing air. Based on this observation, the student concluded that it is only the bromine vapour which moves up and diffuses into air in the upper jar, the air from the upper jar does not move down by diffusion into the lower jar containing bromine vapours. Do you agree with this conclusion of the student? Give reason for your answer.
