Question

A colloidal particle engaged in continuous, completely random zig-zag motion defines the physical phenomenon of Brownian movement. What fundamental physical factor is strictly responsible for generating this highly kinetic state?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Brownian motion provides vital mechanical stability to a sol. It is strictly caused by the chaotic, unequal, and highly asymmetric thermal impacts of the countless tiny solvent molecules continually colliding against the relatively massive colloidal particle from all possible directions.
