Short explanation

In the subtopic Sizes of particles and their properties, this learning objective focuses on (chemistry only) Define nanoscience as the study of structures from 1 nm to 100 nm. Within Bulk and surface properties of matter including nanoparticles (chemistry only), students should explain this idea in the exact curriculum context rather than as an isolated fact. Approved keywords for this objective include chemistry only, nanoscience, and nano. nanoscience means the study of structures from 1 nm to 100 nm. Avoid students often define nanoscience as the study of any small particles, not specifically those from 1 nm to 100 nm; instead emphasize that nanoscience specifically focuses on structures within the size range of 1 nm to 100 nm. For exam answers, memorize the definition of nanoscience as the study of structures from 1 nm to 100 nm.
