DISCUSSION POINTS

How can we identify if

the fruits have
ripened?

By smell

How does it spread?

What is this
phenomenon called?

It spreads through
air
Sublimation

CONSOLIDATION

Diffusion is the spontaneous

mixing of different particles having
freedom of movement

DISCUSSION POINTS
What do you observe?

Sometimes, we use
heat to ripen fruits.
Why?

What is the relation

between particle
movement and
diffusion?

Ink diffuses into

water
When heat increases,
freedom of movement
of particles also
increases.
When particle
movement increases,
diffusion increases

CONSOLIDATION
When molecular movement increases,
diffusion also increases

DISCUSSION POINTS
What do you observe?

Ink does not spread

into glass

What is the reason?

Because glass is in
solid state
How will you explain
it?

In solids, particles
are closely packed,
so freedom of
movement is less

CONSOLIDATION
Diffusion takes place in all states of
matter. But it is faster in gases than in
liquids and it is extremely slow In
solids.
