Explanation / Answer

(1)

(i)

The surface area of the materials increases with decreasing the size. So, the relative area of the nanomaterials is larger than the same volume or mass of the larger form materials. The surface area of the materials of a given volume increases by dividing into the smaller pieces. Thus, the surface to volume ratio increases in Nano-scaling compared to larger scaling.

(ii)

When divided into the smaller pieces, the gravitational affect can be neglected. Therefore, the weight is negligible in the case of Nano-scaling compared to larger scaling.

(iii)

Scattering phenomenon can be considered Nano-scaling. So, the energy of the light scattered with the materials decreases. So, the frequency of the material decreases in the case of Nano-scaling compared to larger scaling.

(iv)

The charge of a neutral larger material is zero. In the case of Nano-scaling, the materials involve the ion-ion and ion-dipole interactions. So, the electrostatic forces increase in the case of Nano-scaling compared to larger scaling.
