Diffusion is slowest in solid particles than in particles...

Diffusion is slowest in solid particles than in particles of liquid and gases because

A.

solid particles have more kinetic energy than the particles of liquid and gases

B.

solid particles have less kinetic energy than the particles of liqiud and gases

C.

solid particles have less restriction in their movement than liquid and gas particles

D.

the particles in solids are far apart and the cohesive forces between them are negligible

Correct answer is B

Diffusion is faster in gases owing to their higher kinetic energy i.e increase in kinetic energy of molecules leads to increase in rate of diffusion.
