they have huge gaps between then so they can diffuse and move quickly

Step-by-step explanation:

Every gas molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces because of which each molecule of a gas is free is move from one place to another.

This causes more number of collisions between molecules of a gas and gaps will also increase between each molecule.

As a result, gases are able to diffuse or spread at a faster rate.

Hence, generally it is true about the particles in a gas that gases diffuse at a faster rate.
