A student placed a gas jar containing air in the upside-down position over a gas jar full of red-brown bromine vapours. He observed that the red-brown colour spread upwards into the jar containing air. Based on this observation, the student concluded that it is only the bromine vapour which moves up and diffuses into the air in the upper jar, the air from the upper jar does not move down by diffusion into the lower jar containing bromine vapours. Do you agree with this conclusion of the student? Give a reason for your answer.

When extremely small particles X derived from the anther of a flower were suspended in a liquid Y and observed through a microscope, it was found that the particles X were moving throughout the liquid Y in a very zigzag way. It was also observed that the warmer the liquid Y, the faster the particles X moved in its surface.
(a) What could particles X be?
(b) What do you think liquid Y is?
(c) What is the zigzag movement of particles X?
(d) What is causing the zigzag movement of particles X?
(e) Name the scientist who discovered this phenomenon.
(f) What does this experiment tell us about the nature of liquid Y?

(b) Name the gas (or mixture of gases) Y.
(c) What is the phenomenon exhibited by particles X known as?
(d) What is causing the movement of particles X?
