LO14 Nanoscience MCQ
1. Nanomaterials are the materials with at least one dimension

measuring less than ___________
a) 1 nm
b) 10 nm
c) 100 nm
d) 1000 nm
Answer: C
Explanation: A material with at least one of its dimensions measuring
less than 100 nm (1 to 100nm) are classified as nanomaterials.
2. 2. A material with one dimension in Nano range and the other two
dimensions are large is called ___________
a) Micro-material
b) Quantum wire
c) Quantum well
d) Quantum dot
Answer: C
Explanation: Such a material with one dimension in Nano range and
other two large is called quantum well. A material with two of the three
dimensions in the nano range and third large is called quantum wire.
When all the dimensions are in nano range, it is called quantum dot.
3. The colour of the nano gold particles is ___________

a) Yellow
b) Orange
c) Red
d) Variable.
Answer: D
Explanation: The colour of the nano gold particle varies with the size of
the particles. It shows different colours like orange, red, purple, or
greenish.
4. The melting point of particles in nano form ___________

a) Increases
b) Decreases
c) Remains same
d) Increases then decreases.
Answer: B
Explanation: For the particles in the nano form, the melting point reduces
significantly. Other chemical properties are also changed as the
dimensions of the object comes in the nano range.
5. The first talk about nanotechnology was given by ___________

a) Albert Einstein
b) Newton
c) Gordon E. Moore
d) Richard Feynman
Answer: D
Explanation: In 1959, Richer Feynman gave a speech in which he spoke
of nano-science and nano-technology. He talked about the possibility of
manipulating individual atoms and molecules.
6. Which of the processes of materials was not described as
Nanotechnology?
a) Separation
b) Creation
c) Processing
d) Consolidation
Answer: B
Explanation: Nanotechnology, as defined by Professor N. Taniguchi,
consists of the processing, separation, consolidation and deformation of
materials by one atom or by one molecule. It is used exclusively for the
nanomaterials.
7. The initial tools used to help launch the nanoscience revolution

were ___________
a) Binoculars
b) Microscope
c) Scanning probe instruments
d) Interferometer
Answer: C
Explanation: Scanning probe instruments were the initial tools used by
the scientist. In these instruments, the probe slides along the surface of
the specimen.
8. When semiconductors are reduced to nanometres they become pure

conductors.
a) True
b) False
Answer: B
Explanation: When semiconductors are reduced to the nano form their
chemical properties change significantly and they become insulators, as
there is no more space for free electrons to move.
9. The major difference between the nano materials compared to the

bulk form is the big fraction of the total number of atoms on the
surface.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Explanation: As the bulk material is changed into nano form, the number
of atoms on the surface turns out to be a large fraction of the total number
of atoms present in the material. Due to this, the whole physical/chemical
properties of the material changes.
10. The size of atoms is nearly ____________

a) 0.01 nm
b) 0.1 nm
c) 1 nm
d) 10 nm
Answer: b
Explanation: The size of the atoms is nearly 0.1 nm. The smallest
naturally occurring atom, helium, is 0.1 nm in size. Thus, nanotechnology
can be used to study their characteristics and properties or even control
them.
11. The prefix "nano" comes from a ...
a) French word meaning billion
b) Greek word meaning dwarf
c) Spanish word meaning particle
d) Latin word meaning invisible
Answer: b
