Alphabetical
random walk
[noun]
The erratic movement of molecules during diffusion as they move from areas of high to low concentration. Molecules do not move in a straight path, instead they have a random path due to their interaction with the medium through which they are moving and from bumping into other molecules and environmental barriers. See also Brownian motion.
