(TRUE) The statement is True.
Diffusion is the process of movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.
In liquids,the rate of diffusion is influenced by several factors:
$1$. Viscosity: Higher viscosity (thickness) of a liquid creates more resistance to the movement of particles,thereby slowing down the rate of diffusion.
$2$. Chemical Nature: The intermolecular forces and the size of the molecules of the diffusing substances affect how easily they can move through the medium.
Therefore,both viscosity and chemical nature are critical determinants of the diffusion rate in liquids.
