Question
Chemistry Question on Colloids
The Brownian motion is due to
A
temperature fluctuation within the liquid phase
B
attraction and repulsion between charges on the colloidal particles
C
impact of the molecules of the dispersion medium on the colloidal particles
D
convectional currents
Answer
impact of the molecules of the dispersion medium on the colloidal particles
Explanation
Solution
Brownian motion is the random movement of the low weight particles suspended in a fluid. It arises because of the unequal impacts of the particles of the dispersion medium on the colloidal particles.
