Step 1. Gas molecules are in continuous, random motion and collide frequently with each other and with their surroundings.

Step 2. This random motion naturally causes two or more gases placed in contact to spontaneously and uniformly intermix throughout the available space, without any external stirring.

Step 3. This spontaneous, homogeneous intermixing of gases is called diffusion -- one of the characteristic properties of the gaseous state.
