a) Gas phase agglomeration
b) Molecular self-assembly
c) Mechanical grinding
d) Molecular beam epitaxy
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Mechanical grinding is an example of top-down approach for the preparation of nanomaterials. All the other options are the example of bottom-up approach.

2. Which of the following is an example of bottom-up approach for the preparation of nanomaterials?
a) Etching
b) Dip pen nano-lithography
c) Lithography
d) Erosion
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Dip pen nanolithography is an example of bottom-down approach for the preparation of nanomaterials. All the other options are the example of top-down
approach.

3. The properties like melting point, solubility, color, etc changes on varying the
a) Size
b) Composition
c) Surface properties
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The properties like melting point, solubility, color, etc changes on varying the size of the particles. These all are the physical properties and depends upon the
physical characteristics of the particle.

4. The properties like dispersibility, conductivity, etc changes on varying the

a) Size
b) Composition
c) Surface properties
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The properties like dispersibility, conductivity, etc changes on varying the surface properties of the nanoparticle. These all are the chemical properties and
depends upon the surface characteristics of the particle.

5. Quantum confinement results in

a) Energy gap in semiconductor is proportional to the inverse of the square root of size
b) Energy gap in semiconductor is proportional to the inverse of the size
c) Energy gap in semiconductor is proportional to the square of size
d) Energy gap in semiconductor is proportional to the inverse of the square of size
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The energy gap in a semiconductor is proportional to the inverse of the square of size. This effect is a result of quantum confinement.

6. Which of the following is the principal factor which causes the properties of nanomaterials to differ significantly from other materials?
a) Size distribution
b) Specific surface feature
c) Quantum size effects
d) All the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Size distribution, specific surface feature and quantum size effects are the principal factor which causes the properties of nanomaterials to differ significantly
from other materials.

7. Select the incorrect statement from the following options.

a) Self-assembly is a top-down manufacturing technique
b) In self-assembly, weak interactions play very important role
c) Self-assembling molecules adopt a organised structure which is thermodynamically more stable than the single, unassembled components
d) Compared to the isolated components, the self-assembled structure has a higher order
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Self-assembly is a bottom-down manufacturing technique. All the other options are correct. In self-assembly, weak interactions play very important role, self-
assembling molecules adopt a organised structure which is thermodynamically more stable than the single, unassembled components.
