If no one has ever seen a molecule, how do we know that there are molecules in fluids?

What will be an ideal response?


We infer that there are molecules from the behavior of the fluids. The kinetic
theory describes the characteristics of fluids very well. Many predictions made assuming
this is true supported the inference.
