Brownian motion

Define Brownian motion:


Brownian motion is the random movement of large molecules due to their
collision with the faster moving smaller molecules.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Brownian motion is represented by the following diagram.

• Motion is described as random and zig-


zag.
• Collisions happen because smaller molecules
are moving faster and bombarding (colliding )
with other massive particles.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Random motion of particles( pollen grains) in a suspension was observed by
Robert Brown. This was the evidence for the kinetic molecular model of
matter.
