Abstract

Diffusion is a physical process that refers to the spontaneous movement of particles, atoms, or molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. It is a fundamental concept in various scientific fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. In the context of gases, diffusion occurs as gas molecules move and spread out to occupy the available space. This movement is driven by the random thermal motion of particles. Over time, the molecules disperse and become evenly distributed throughout the system. For example, when a bottle of perfume is opened in one corner of a room, the fragrance eventually spreads throughout the entire room due to diffusion.
