It is the unpredictable direction of motion, of which all directions have an equal probability.

The average energy of the random motion of particles (in a gas for simplicity) is known as the temperature.

No, that is unrelated. Random molecular motion is basically heat. Chemical energy is a type of potential energy.

What does Molecular Motion mean?

When the temperature increases during a chemical or physical change the molecular movement increases. This means the molecular movement is faster. If the temperature decreases the molecular movement decreases. This means the molecular movement is slower.


Difference between molecular motion and diffusion?

It triggers diffusion because diffusion is the movement of molecules, therefore as soon as the molecules move diffusion begins to do it's job. It will take them from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration.


What does the word diffusion mean?

it is the transport of molecules from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration by random molecular motion.
