A Crash Course on Molecular Diffusion
Let's explore collisions from various perspectives. From tabletop demonstrations, microscopic observations, and computer simulations our exploration will reveal the conservation of momentum in each collision. By aggregating numerous collisions, we'll illustrate diffusion—an essential phenomenon in biology and chemistry. A simulation featuring a bacterial cell will demonstrate how diffusion influences molecules of diverse shapes and sizes.
