    20.Melting point of nano material decreases with decrease in size of particle.                                               

    • A.

      A true   

    • B.

      B false

    Correct Answer
    A. A true   
    Explanation
    As the size of a particle decreases, the ratio of surface area to volume increases. This means that there is a larger surface area available for interactions with the surroundings. In the case of nano materials, this increased surface area leads to more atoms or molecules being present at the surface, which results in weaker intermolecular forces. Consequently, the particles require less energy to break these weak intermolecular forces and transition from a solid to a liquid state, resulting in a lower melting point. Therefore, the statement that the melting point of nano materials decreases with a decrease in size of the particle is true.

        47. The melting point increases with decrease in size of nano particles                     

    • A.

      A correct   

    • B.

      B incorrect

    Correct Answer
    B. B incorrect
    Explanation
    The correct answer is B incorrect. The melting point actually decreases with a decrease in the size of nano particles. This is due to the fact that as the size of particles decreases, the surface area to volume ratio increases. This leads to an increase in surface energy, which lowers the melting point. Additionally, the reduced size of particles also affects the crystal structure and atomic arrangement, further contributing to the decrease in melting point.

       C titanium carbide

    • D.

      D cadmium sulphide

    Correct Answer
    A. A gold nano particles
    Explanation
    Gold nanoparticles absorb 100% of light and do not shine because of a phenomenon called surface plasmon resonance. When light interacts with gold nanoparticles, the electrons in the metal oscillate collectively, absorbing the light energy and converting it into heat. This absorption of light prevents the gold nanoparticles from reflecting or scattering light, resulting in their lack of shine. Zinc sulphide, titanium carbide, and cadmium sulphide do not have the same properties and therefore do not absorb 100% of light.
