اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "diffusion" with the verb or adjective "diffuse". "Diffusion" is a noun for the process of spreading, while "to diffuse" is the action and "diffuse" as an adjective means "spread out" or "not clear". Learners may also overuse "diffusion" in everyday speech where simple words like "spread" or "growth" are more natural.
معنی
gradual spread of ideas or things
ترکیبهای رایج
diffusion of innovation

هممعنیها
spread (More general and common; less formal and not limited to technical or academic contexts.)

تعریف
The slow way that ideas, products, or information move and spread to more and more people or places.

اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "diffusion" with "osmosis". Osmosis is a special case of diffusion that involves water moving through a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion is a more general process for any particles. Another mistake is using "diffusion" as a verb (e.g., *"the gas diffusions"*); the correct verb is "diffuse".

هممعنیها
dispersion (Also refers to particles spreading out, but can be broader and is used in other scientific contexts such as optics.)
متضادها
concentration (As a process, concentrating brings particles together into a smaller space, which is the opposite of diffusion spreading them out.)

تعریف
In science, the way tiny particles move from a place where there are many of them to a place where there are fewer of them, until they are spread out evenly.
In physics and chemistry, the passive movement of particles, such as atoms or molecules, from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration as a result of random thermal motion.

اشتباه رایج:
Learners may treat "diffusion" and "osmosis" as the same in biology, but osmosis specifically refers to water movement. Another common error is saying *"active diffusion"* for movement that uses energy; the correct term is "active transport", while diffusion itself is always passive.
معنی
movement across membranes in biology

تعریف
In biology, the way small molecules move through or across cell membranes from where there are many of them to where there are fewer, without using energy.
