Short explanation

(chemistry only) Compare nanoparticles with fine particles and coarse particles using given size information. This objective belongs to Sizes of particles and their properties within Bulk and surface properties of matter including nanoparticles (chemistry only) for AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462. A strong answer should use chemistry only accurately, explain the chemistry behind the statement, and connect the idea back to the exact command in the objective. When revising, separate this point from neighbouring Chemistry ideas by naming the relevant particle, substance, process, calculation, observation, or structure before giving the final conclusion.
