Answer 2

两者是属于同义词
disperse : (cause sb/sth to) go in different directions; scatter; break up （使某人[某物]）散开; 消散; 驱散；The crowd dispersed (in all directions). 人群散开了. * The wind dispersed the clouds. 风把云吹散了.

scatter : 1、(cause people or animals to) move, usu quickly, in different directions （使人或动物）散开: The crowd scattered. 人群散开了. * The police scattered the crowd. 警察驱散了人群.
2、throw (sth) in different directions; put here and there 撒（某物）; 散布: scatter seed (over the ground) 播种 * scatter grit on the road 把沙砾撒在路面上

如果同是， to separate and go in various directions 这个意思的话，应该两者可互换。
