Why is 1g of cobalt oxide nanoparticles a better catalyst than 1g of cobalt oxide powder?

Answer;

It is because nano particles have a large surface area compared to the powder.

Explanation;

-The rate of a chemical reaction can be raised by increasing the surface area of a solid reactant. This is done by cutting the substance into small pieces, or by grinding it into a powder.

-If the surface area of a reactant is increased, it means more particles are exposed to the other reactant.

chemists can use the electron cloud model to assign electrons to different atomic orbitals. atomic orbitals also explain the patterns in the periodic table
