4. Particles of matter attract each other.
Diffusion and Osmosis
The process by which molecules of a substance move from higher concentration to lower concentration is also called diffusion.
And also osmosis is the process in which the solvent molecules move from the lower concentration to higher concentration through the selectively permeable membrane is Osmosis.
According to biology diffusion is the process for the gas molecules to pass through a selectively permeable membrane (eg. Plasma membrane). So, Osmosis is the process by which the water molecules pass through such a plasma membrane.
