Question
State whether the following statement is true or false :
Red-brown bromine vapour diffuse into air in a gas jar but the colourless air molecules do not diffuse into bromine vapour.

The statement given here is false. Air also diffuses into the bromine vapour but because air is colourless, we are not able to see its movement.
