Gold nanoparticles in aqueous solution
« on: July 12, 2014, 06:37:29 PM »
If I were to place a drop of an aqueous solution of gold nanoparticles on a metal surface and wait for the water to evaporate, do you think the gold nanoparticles would clump up or would they remain solid nanoparticles on the metal surface?

Depends on concentration for sure. If they were coated with PEG, they would probably keep their distance from each other.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
