Open in App
Solution

Two process which provides the best evidence for the motion of particles in matter are :

1. Brownian Motion
2. Diffusion.

Brownian Motion
The best evidence for existence and movement of particles in liquids was given by Robert Brown.
The zig zag movement of the small particles suspended in a liquid or gas.

Diffusion:
The spreading and mixing of a substance with another substances due to its motion of its particles is called Diffusion.

The existence of Brownian motion and diffusion gives us two conclusions about:
that matter is made up of tiny particles.
That the particles of matter are constantly moving.
