A

each carbon atom has one delocalised electron that can move and carry charge

42
Q

What property of graphene makes it useful in electronics?

A

Contains delocalised electrons- can conduct electricity through whole structure

43
Q

What property of graphene makes it useful to add to composite materials?

What are coarse particles also referred to as?

A

Dust

78
Q

What is the main property of nanoparticles?

A

Large surface area to volume ratio

79
Q

What happens to the surface area as particles decrease in size?

A

Surface area increases in relation to their volume- surface area to volume ratio increases

80
Q

What is the equation to find the surface area to volume ratio?

A

Surface area to volume ratio = surface area/volume

81
Q

What is the rule for surface area to volume ratio as particles decrease in size?

A

As the side of a cube is decreased by factor of 10, surface area to volume ratio increases by factor of 10

82
Q

What causes the properties of a material to be different if it’s a nanoparticle rather than in bulk?

A

Nanoparticles have a high surface area to volume ratio

83
Q

Why are smaller quantities of a material made up of nanoparticles needed to work as an effective catalyst than for materials made up of ‘normal’ sized particles?

A

Nanoparticles have a high surface area to volume ratio

84
