What are five physical properties that are characteristics of an element?

1. Elements are pure substances

2. An element cannot be broken into its components by chemical methods

3. Properties of an element are similar to its constituent atoms

4. An element is made up of similar type of atoms

5. On basis of their properties, Elements are normally divided into metals, non metals and metalloids

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
