Gravity and Electromagnetic Forces
• Gravitational force– Depends on mass– Larger influence on heavier
particles– Insignificant for very small
particles
• Electromagnetic forces– Do not depend on mass
Force due to gravity

Changing Properties
• Types of properties that often change– Optical (e.g. colour, transparency)– Electrical (e.g. conductivity)– Physical (e.g. hardness, boiling point)– Chemical (e.g. reactivity, reaction rates)

Electrical Conductivity
Bulk Metal Nanomaterials
• Negatively charged particles particles (electrons) move around a fixed arrangement of positively charged particles.
• Electrons can move so they can conduct electricity
• Less electrons to “share” • Electrons tend to stick close
to one positive charge and not move around.
• Not as good at conducting electricity.

Optical Properties
• Particles are so small that electrons are not free to move about.
• Because this movement is restricted, the particles react differently with light.
• Some particles are so small that visible light does not interact with them at all.

Melting
Related to percentage of atoms on the surface (i.e. surface area to volume ratio)
