What is diffusion when a substance moves from an area of high concentration into an area of low concentration
What is distillation? the process of heating a mixture (with a liquid) to separate two elements by evaporating the other

When is an ionic bond most likely to occur? When the elements are further away from one another on the periodic table of elements
