Quantum dot is a___________.

  1. Nano particle

  2. Semi conductor

  3. A,B

  4. Insulator


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Quantum dot is a Semi conductor made up of Nano particles.Basically a single electron trapped inside a cage of atoms and when the dot is exposed to a pulse of light at the right time and wavelength, the electron is raised to an exited state. Thus when the electron fall back to its ground state, these dots then have the ability to glow. Quantum dots are a special class of materials known as semiconductor. Quantum dots are very special because they are so small that 4,000,000 dots take up 2 cm. Hence option C is correct.

Thus nanoparticles have a much ____________ surface area per unit mass compared with larger particles.

  1. Greater

  2. Lesser

  3. Equal

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Two principal factors cause the properties of nanomaterials to differ significantly from other materials: increased relative surface area, and quantum effects. These factors can change or enhance properties such as reactivity, strength and electrical characteristics.

As a particle decreases in size, a greater proportion of atoms are found at the surface compared to those inside. For example, a particle of size 30 nm has 5% of its atoms on its surface, at 10 nm 20% of its atoms, and at 3 nm 50% of its atoms.

Thus nanoparticles have a much greater surface area per unit mass compared with larger particles. As growth and catalytic chemical reactions occur at surfaces, this means that a given mass of material in nanoparticulate form will be much more reactive than the same mass of material made up of larger particles.
