Which of the following nano metal is used as an antibacterial agent
-
gold
-
platinum
-
silver
-
argentinum
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Silver has natural antibacterial properties and is widely used in nanoparticle form as an antibacterial agent in medical applications, wound dressings, and coatings. Gold and platinum do not have significant antibacterial properties. 'Argentinum' is simply the Latin word for silver (Ag is the chemical symbol), not a separate antibacterial agent.
