Question

Dimensionality of nanoparticles influences many of its properties. With the help of suitable examples, elaborate this in context of electrical conductivity. Also describe the origin of this change.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are three major physical properties of nanoparticles, and all are interrelated: (1) they are highly mobile in the free state (e.g., in the absence of some other additional influence, a 10-nm-diameter nanosphere of silica has a sedimentation rate under gravity of 0.01 mm/day in water); (2) they have enormous ...
