Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Question:

Define Brownian movement in colloids.

Answer:

The colloidal particles move at random in a zigzag motion in all directions. This type of zig-zag motion of colloidal particles is called Brownian movement. It is caused due to the collision of the colloidal particles with the molecules of the dispersion medium.
