The structures that provide a huge surface area for the diffusion of gases are the alveoli in the lungs and the thin-walled capillaries surrounding them. Alveoli are tiny air sacs that dramatically increase the surface area available for gas exchange, allowing for efficient oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release. Additionally, the branching structure of the bronchioles and the extensive network of capillaries contribute to this large surface area, facilitating rapid diffusion.
Diffusion is greater in gases than in solids primarily due to the differences in particle arrangement and movement. In gases, particles are widely spaced and move freely at higher speeds, allowing them to spread out rapidly and mix with other gases. In contrast, solids have closely packed particles that vibrate in fixed positions, limiting their ability to move and disperse. This restricted movement in solids results in significantly slower diffusion rates compared to gases.
In the air around us there is 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% other gasses
Gases in air are nitrogen about 79%, oxygen about 20% and other gases 1%
Whipple came up with the "dirty snowball" concept of comets; that the head of the comet is primarily ice and frozen gasses bound together by dust, gravel and rocks. This explains the nature of the "tail" of the comet; as the frozen gasses sublimate away (change from solid to gas, without an intervening liquid state) the gas is carried away by the solar wind and by pressure of the sunlight itself.
Well, several are, and from left to right. Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals. Transition metals. Metaloids. Nonmetals. Halogens. Nobel gasses.
It is because your body requires a lot of surface area for diffusion of gasses into the blood.
The rate of diffusion is fastest is gasses, but as we can't see the gases ,it can be seen it liquids, but in liquids the rate of diffusion is comparatively slower than gasses and it can be easily observed....
methane carbon dioxide gases that do not provide life
Diffusion of gasses & dissolved substances into and out of the blood.
diffusion.
oxygen and carbon dioxide
It allows for rapid diffusion of gasses.
gasses
membranes must be thin for efficient diffusion of gasses.
This exchange allows easy diffusion of gasses back and forth.
Liquids diffuse at a slower rate than do gases because they have much less kinetic energy.
it is made up of gasses and liquids
