Sample Questions with answers:

Key words have been marked and color coded same as the answers.
Hundreds of years ago in 1785 Dutch scientist Jan Ingenhousz was studying
a strange phenomenon that he couldn’t quite make sense of. Minute
particles of coal dust were darting about on the surface of some alcohol in
his lab.

About 50 years later, in 1827, the Scottish botanist Robert Brown described
something curiously similar. He had his microscope trained on some pollen
grains. Brown noticed that some of the grains released tiny particles –
which would then move away from the pollen grain in a random jittery
dance.

At first, Brown wondered if the particles were really some sort of unknown
organism. He repeated the experiment with other substances like rock dust,
which he knew wasn’t alive, and saw the same strange motion again.

It would take almost another century for science to offer an explanation.


Einstein came along and developed a mathematical formula that would
predict this very particular type of movement – by then called Brownian
motion, after Robert Brown.

Einstein’s theory was that the particles from the pollen grains were being
moved around because they were constantly crashing into millions of tinier
molecules of water – molecules that were made of atoms.

By 1908, observations backed with calculations had confirmed that atoms


were real. Within about a decade, physicists would be able to go further. By
pulling apart individual atoms they began to get a sense of their internal
structure.

It might come as a surprise that atoms can be broken down – particularly


since the very name atom derives from a Greek term “atomos”, which
means “indivisible”. But physicists now know that atoms are not solid little
balls. It’s better to think of them as tiny electrical, “planetary” systems.
They’re typically made up of three main parts: protons, neutrons and
electrons. Think of the protons and neutrons as together forming a “sun”, or
nucleus, at the center of the system. The electrons orbit this nucleus, like
planets.

The type of random jittery movement of tiny particles is called Brownian


motion.

Einstein explained the phenomenon of particles' strange motion by the fact


that they were collapsing with water molecules.

Nowadays, scientists consider atoms' structures similar to tiny planetary


systems.

Electrons are parts that are circling around the nucleus.
