Diffusion:
 in diffusion particles move from area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration..
causes:
the movement of particles allow them ti disperse,,, when molecules are close to each other they collide with each other and push each other apart so they spread in the whole area... :)

Diffusion is the process of water molecules from a high concentration region to low concentration.When particles diffuse ,they will break down to simpler particles.
Causes:
Due to the motion of paticles the particles will collide each other and mix.

USPshnik [31]

No because an atom consists of two main parts and three subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

A car travels a distance of 320 km in 4 hours. What is your average speed in meters per second?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

22.2 m/s

Explanation:

First, we need to convert km to m by multiplying by 1000. This means that the car traveled 320 000 meters.

Next, we convert hours to minutes by multiplying by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour). This means that overall, the car traveled 320 000 m in 14 400 seconds.

The average speed can be found by using the equation $\frac{distance}{time}$ . After substitution, this gives the fraction $\frac{320 000}{14 400}$ , which reduces to 22 $\frac{2}{9}$ m/s, or about 22.2 m/s.
