Brownian motion
Brown·i·an motion B0508900 (brou′nē-ən)n. The random movement of microscopic particles suspended in a liquid or gas, caused by collisions with molecules of the surrounding medium. Also called Brownian movement. [After Robert Brown.]Brown′i•an mo′tion (ˈbraʊ ni ən) n. the random motion of small colloidal particles suspended in a liquid or gas medium, caused by the collision of the medium's molecules with the particles. Also called Brown′ian move′ment. [1870–75; after Robert Brown (1773–1858), Scottish botanist, who described it in 1827] Brown·i·an motion (brou′nē-ən) The random movement of microscopic particles suspended in a liquid or gas, caused by collisions between these particles and the molecules of the liquid or gas.ThesaurusNoun | 1. | Brownian motion - the random motion of small particles suspended in a gas or liquidBrownian movement, pedesismotion, movement - a natural event that involves a change in the position or location of something | EncyclopediaSeeBrownian movementbrownian motion
brown·i·an move·menterratic, nondirectional, zigzag movement observed by ultramicroscope in certain colloidal solutions and by microscope in suspensions of light particulate matter that results from the jostling or bumping of the larger particles by the molecules in the suspending medium which are regarded as being in continuous motion.
