Diffusion is when particles from a higher concentration spread to an area with a lower concentration.

Example: When a teabag is placed into a cup of water, particles of tea leaves diffuse through the bag into the surrounding water.

Diffusion is the movement of particles (molecules or ions) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process occurs spontaneously and is driven by the natural tendency of particles to spread out and reach equilibrium.
