What Does The Golden Rule of Diffusion Mean?
Quick Recap!! The Golden Rule of diffusion states that when particles diffuse, the movement is always from a region of higher particle concentration level to a region lower particle concentration level until the particles are evenly distributed.
"So what does this mean?"
This law basically means that all particles will move out of their 'home' and into regions where that particular type of particle does not exist.
The diagram below illustrates how diffusion takes place. The particles on the left move from a region where they are highly concentrated to a region where only a few of them exist (region of low concentration).
