The particles moving away from the area of greatest concentration of that substance will produce a what?
Correct Answer
concentration gradient
Explanation
As particles move away from the area of greatest concentration, they produce a concentration gradient — a difference in concentration between two areas. Particles naturally move down this gradient (from high to low concentration) via diffusion. The steeper the gradient, the faster the rate of diffusion.
