Question

Q. With reference to the classification of nanomaterials, consider the following statements:

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Both statements are correct

• Zero Dimensional Nanomaterials (0D): These nanomaterials have all the dimensions within the nanoscale i.e. no dimensions are larger than 100 nm. Most commonly, 0D nanomaterials are nanoparticles.
• One Dimensional Nanomaterials (1D): These have one dimension outside the nanoscale. This class includes nanotubes, nanorods, and nanowires
