Answer:
Molecular scale. The story begins a long time ago
when the idea that molecules are in constant motion
was first discovered. Part of the evidence that you can
see in everyday life was discovered by Robert Brown
about 150 years ago when he used a microscope to
watch how tiny dust particles move.
So how fast do molecules move? It all depends upon
the molecule and its state: molecules in a solid state
move slower than in a liquid state, and much slower
than gas molecules. One estimate puts gas molecules
in the range of 1,100 mph at room temperature. Cool
them down to almost absolute zero and they slow
down to less than 0.1 mph (slower than the average
couch potato). The fact that they are always moving
makes it a challenge to see molecules and make stuff
out of them, but it’s a challenge that scientists
work hard to figure out.
