The Properties of Materials Can
Change as the Size Gets Very Small
• Chemical reactions often occur at the surface of
materials
• As particles get smaller the surface to volume ratio
increases
• How can this affect chemical reactivity?

Demonstration
• Consider a sphere
• Cut it in half
• The weight and volume are the same but the
surface area has increased

1. As a team, explore the nano-product in the
bag.
2. Describe:
• What the product in?
• What it is used for?
• What is “nano” about it?
• How does it work?
• How is it different from it’s “non-nano”
• counterpart?
• Any other information
