Discussion
Assertion: a metal nanoparticle melts below the bulk metal's melting point. Reason: surface atoms are less strongly bound than interior atoms.
Answer: B
The smaller the particle the larger the proportion of those weakly bound surface atoms, so less energy is needed to disrupt the whole lattice. The depression can amount to hundreds of degrees for a particle a few nanometres across.
