Question

Select the incorrect statement from the following options.

(a) Self-assembly is a top-down manufacturing technique

(b) In self-assembly, weak interactions play very important role

(c) Self-assembling molecules adopt an organised structure which is thermodynamically more stable than the single, unassembled components

(d) Compared to the isolated components, the self-assembled structure has a higher order

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Self-assembly is a top-down manufacturing technique

For explanation: Self-assembly is a bottom-down manufacturing technique. All the other options are correct. In self-assembly, weak interactions play very important role, self-assembling molecules adopt an organised structure which is thermodynamically more stable than the single, unassembled components.
