Answer #1

Nanoparticle are particles having dimensions in nano range. They have lyophobic properties that prevent them from agglomeration. They are charged particle and when come close they repel each other thats how they remain in dispersed phase. But when the charge on them got neutralized, they start getting closer and agglomerate in the solution. So they start forming molecules or clusters. Thats when they start behaving like a molecule.
