Tiny smoke particles are suspended in air. When viewed through a microscope, the smoke particles can be seen to be moving about with an irregular, jerky motion.
What causes this movement?
The smoke particles are being bombarded by the heavier molecules of the air.
The smoke particles are being bombarded by the lighter, fast-moving molecules of the air.
The temperature of the air is higher than that of the smoke particles.
The temperature of the air is lower than that of the smoke particles.
