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 zig-zag way. It was also observed that warmer the liquid Y, faster the particles X moved on its surface.

1. What could particles X be ?
2. What do you think liquid Y is ?
3. What is the zig-zag movement of X known as ?
4. What is causing the zig-zag movement of particles X ?
5. Name the scientist who discovered this phenomenon.
6. What does this experiment tell us about the nature of liquid Y?
