What causes the brownian motion of particles in a colloid? a) collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules b)interactions with rays of light that shine through the colloid c )the force of gravity, which pulls the particles downward d) electrical attractions between the particles and surrounding molecules

The correct answer option is a) collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules.

Explanation:

The collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules causes the Brownian motion of particles in a colloid.

Brownian motion is the irregular movement of the microscopic particles in a fluid which bombard into each other.

It basically is the result of the molecules of a dispersion medium colliding with the dispersed particles of the phase.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
