Diffusion is a microscopic, random and irreversible process by which particles, by their own agitation, move from concentrated areas to less concentrated areas. This video is very good too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oLPBnhOCjM

in simple terms it's more like dissolving but in scientific terms- it's like particles moving from a higher concentration area to a lower concentration area

anonymous · Answer

so whatever you have will move in either direcrtion depending on the concentration. like for example when you have something really filled it would want to move to somewhere with more space.
