How do we know atoms and molecules are in motion?

One of the big problems in chemistry is our dependence upon our five senses (macroscopic observations) to infer what occurs on the atomic and molecular level (microscopic behavior of matter). Give two examples of observations we can make on the macroscopic level that prove to us that atoms and molecules are in motion.

Justify your answer, making sure to name the type(s) of intermolecular interaction(s) that are involved in each case. You will receive no credit without a proper justification. a.

a) Langevin theory of paramagnetism assumes that atoms or molecules with magnetic moment do not interact with each other and are only affected by the applied field and thermal provocations. That would cause Curie's law. In 1907, Pierre Weiss explained that each magnetic moment interacts with each other. He suggested that this interaction could be explained by an imaginary molecular field (Hm = ?M). By using molecular field expression derive ?= C/T-θ for magnetic susceptibility. b) Plot the temperature-dependent curves...

To derive the ideal-gas equation, we assume that the volume of the gas atoms/molecules can be neglected. Given the atomic radius of krypton, 1.1 Å, and knowing that a sphere has a volume of 4πr3/3, calculate the fraction of space that Kr atoms occupy in a sample of krypton at STP. Express your answer using two significant figures.

2D and 3D Motions How does one use the rules for solving 1D motion problems and apply them to 2D or 3D motion problems? What is a major difference between velocity and acceleration vectors when it comes to their directions relative to the motion of an object? In general, how would you describe the horizontal speed of an object during projectile motion?
