Question

3. Nanotechnology is a new area of research and application. The National Institute for

Nanotechnology has been established in Alberta to conduct such research. Based on the prefix "nano",
what size of particles would be involved in this form of technology? (1)

Answer 1

Answer: 1-100 nanometers

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of diameter the nanoparticles may range in between 100-2500 namometers. But the ultrafine nanoparticles are in the size range of 1 to 100 nanometers.

Their small size distinguishes them with the properties that are different from other sized particles like macroparticles and microparticles. They exhibit different colloidal, electrical, and optical properties.
