Question
Why is brownian motion not observed in macroscopic particles
Open in App
Solution
Dear Student,
The colloidal particels of a colloidal solution when viewed through a ultramicroscope show a constant zig-zag motion known as Brownian movement
As the size of particles increases, the probability of uneven bombardment decreases and the Brownian movement becomes slow.
Therefore, brownian motion not observed in macroscopic particles.
