| show | The unit for electrical current
🗑
|

| DENSITY | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The movement of tiny particles like atoms or molecules that cause them to mix together or move across thin membranes. Diffusion happens because the particles in a substance are constantly moving. Diffusion explains some important processes in biology such as the movement of gas in the alveoli.

🗑
|
||||
| REFRACTION | show 🗑
|
