Question 109

Tiny pollen grains suspended in water are observed under a microscope. They are seen to move in a continuous, random, and jittery path (Brownian motion).

What does this observation tell us about the water molecules?

A

The water molecules are much larger and heavier than the pollen grains.

B

The water molecules are in constant, rapid, and random motion.

C

The water molecules are attracted to each other by strong gravitational forces.

D

The water molecules are completely stationary and form a solid structure.
