The definition of the term diffusion.
Introduction:
In chemistry, the diffusion is the process of spreading of a substance into its atmosphere.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The diffusion is a process in which the substances, generally a liquid and a gas spreads in its atmosphere. In diffusion, the movement of the molecules is from a region of high concentration to low concentration of the substance. This takes place without any external force.
