Hydrogen atoms are smaller and lighter than oxygen and carbon atoms, making them move faster and diffuse more quickly. Additionally, hydrogen gas molecules exhibit greater kinetic energy and collisions with other molecules, which contributes to their faster diffusion rate compared to oxygen and carbon.
