Question
- A. The study of structures larger than 100 nm.
- B. The study of structures from 1 nm to 100 nm.
- C. The study of chemical reactions at the macroscopic level.
- D. The study of bulk materials only.
Answer
The study of structures from 1 nm to 100 nm.
Explanation
Nanoscience is defined as the study of structures that are at the nanoscale, specifically from 1 nm to 100 nm.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Nanoparticle Properties
Students often think that nanoparticles have the same properties as the bulk material they are derived from.
Students should focus on how the size and surface area of nanoparticles can lead to different chemical and physical properties compared to the bulk material.
