Question

The diffusion of gases is primarily attributed to:
Options
A High pressure
B Large mass
C Constant random motion of particles
Correct Answer
D Attraction between particles
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Diffusion is the process by which gases mix and spread out. This occurs because gas particles are in constant, random, straight-line motion until they collide with something, causing them to spread and fill their container.

Hint

It's a direct result of the kinetic energy and movement of the particles.
