Brownian motion is the "jiggling" of macroscopic particles due to their bombardment by surrounding molecules as they move around. The direction of the force of atomic bombardment is constantly changing, and at different times the particle is hit more on one side than another, leading to the seemingly random nature of the motion. The size of the particles that can be thus affected is so small that it requires a microscope to observe the effect.
As the temperature of a liquid or gas increases, the average velocity of the molecules increases. Faster motion means increased momentum for the molecules impacting the macroscopic particles, thus as temperature increases, so does Brownian motion.

What effect would decreasing the temperature have on Brownian motion?
As temperature decreases, the energy of the molecules decreases. Since the energy of the molecules is stored in their translational, vibrational, and rotational motion, their overall motion will decrease and consequently the Brownian motion that results from their motion will diminish as well.
How did observing brownian motion develop a theory about heat and temperature?
Well when you observe brownian motion you can feel the heat and so the theory was developed from the temperature of the heat :) hope I helped
The movement of particles?
Brownian motion is the random moving and mixing of particles.
What effect would lowering the temperature to absolute zero have on the Brownian motion?
All matter has kinetic energy unless it is at absolute zero (-273degrees C). At this temperature this means that there is no movement of molecules which means there is no brownian motion.
What is Brownian-motion?
The haphazard motion of particles of matter is called brownian motion.
What Brownian motion is evidence of?
Brownian motion is evidence of random motion of molecules.
How did observing Brownian motion help develop a theory about heat and temperatures?
Well when you observe brownian motion you can feel the heat and so the theory was developed from the temperature of the heat :) hope I helped
Does Pseudomonas aeruginosa have True Motility or Brownian Motion?
Brownian Motion
What effects would lower the temperature at absolute zero have on brownian motion?
You cannot lower the temperature if you are at absolute zero.
Do suspensions show Brownian motion?
NO,the don't.only colloids show brownian motion.
What is the natural vibrations of particles that drive diffusion?
brownian motion
When was Brownian Motion Ultimate created?
Brownian Motion Ultimate was created in 1975.
