Diffusion is the free movement of particles of matter freely in all directions
as we discussed earlier the movement of particles in all states of matter and the space between particles and movement speed we can see how these particles can move in between other phase or in the same phase
like can the particles of one gas move freely in between the particles of another gas , or even in between liquid particles
we can see how NO₂ molecules can diffuse in between the components of air .
or how can a fizzy drink have the particles of CO₂ gas move freely in between the water molecules
since the movement of particles of gases is less restricted than those in solid or liquid states;Diffusion is more common to happen in the gas particles among other gas or among liquid state
The liquid particles can also diffuse in between other liquid or in gasif you spray water in the air you can see how liquid particles of water can move freely in between air particles
and also ethanol molecules can spread and diffuse in between water molecules
and also the solid particles in between a liquid or in a gas
In case of solid particles since there is no space between particles it is impossible for any type of phase to diffuse between them .

Diffusion of gases is quick because the particles of a gas move quickly. It happens even faster in hot gases.
so we can define
Diffusion
as : the free movement of particles of matter freely in all directions in between other particles
