kinetic

At a certain temperature the particles in a gas have a particular amount of movement

energy (__________________ energy).
If the particles are _________________ then the speed at which they move will be high and
so diffusion will be ________________.
If the particles are _________________ then the speed of the particles is small and so
diffusion will be _________________.
