This applet models the effect of surface/volume ratio on nanoparticle reactivity. Choose from the range of nanoparticle diameters below, then click the 'fire photons' button to introduce photons to the system. Compare the amount of photons that are intercepted at small volumes (high total surface area) and at large volumes (low total surface area) to draw conclusions about the effect on reactivity.
