==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Nanoparticle]]s are small clumps of [[atom]]s which are only a few [[nanometre]]s in [[length]], [[width]] or [[height]].
===About Nanoparticles===
: A [[substance]] that is broken down into [[nanoparticle]]s may have very different [[property|properties]] to large amounts of the [[substance]].
: The [[Surface Area to Volume Ratio|surface area to volume ratio]] of [[nanoparticle]]s is much higher than large [[Volume (Space)|volumes]] of the same [[substance]]. It is this large [[Surface Area|surface area]] compared to the [[Volume (Space)|volume]] that gives it the different [[property|properties]].
