The most basic answer would be that they dont have the same properties as the bulk material and these particles in the nm size range are governed by quantum mechanics.

How particles would move in gel electrophoresis according to size?
During gel electrophoresis, the smaller particles move faster than the larger ones. The end of the gel where the samples are loaded is called the sample origin. Samples move from the origin toward the opposite electrode according to size. At the end of the run, smaller particles will have migrated farther from the origin and the larger ones will be found closer to the origin
What becomes bigger in size due to movement of particles in a solid?
If the particles in a substance are moving, the volume of that substance becomes larger because the particles move faster and spread farther appart. the mass of the object stays the same because it is the same amount of particles, just in a format in which the volume is larger. hope i helped :)
What particles move the most?
the particles that move the most is sugar
A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
The wave will move faster, increasing its speed.
How do particles move around?
After you stroke a tuning fork, all the particles move back and forth. If you play a piano, particles of the wire move back and forth.
How are the particles in a solid arranged differently from those in a liquid?
a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted
What will happen to the particles of a gas if the gas is transferred from a small container to a much larger container?
The particles will just move away from each other, to fill the larger container.
How do particles move differently in a solid a liquid and a gas?
particles in a solid are packed close together and vibrate. the particles in a liquid are loosely packed together and can move freely but not putting too much space between them. the particles in a gas are very spread apart and can move anywhere. does this help you understand?

Do particles get bigger and fill a larger volume when a liquid turns into a gas?
Particles don't get bigger, however they fill a larger volume when turned into gas, this is because of diffusion, this is when particles in a higher concentration move to a lower concentration, this happens everyday in your body and in the domestic house hold

The particles will just move away from each other, to fill the larger container.
Do larger particles move faster than smaller ones?
because they have a larger mass and require a greater energy to move at the same speed. KE=1/2mv2 where m is mass, v is velocity and KE is kinetic energy so for the same energy if the mass is doubled then v2 is halved, resulting in a slower speed
Do Larger particles move faster than smaller ones and thus collide more frequently and more forcefully?
read your book. ;) but no, smaller ones move faster.
How do particles move when they are heated?
Particles move faster when they are heated.
How do the particles move in liquids?
The particles in liquid move freely.
What occurs when particles in a substance move faster and occupy a larger space without changing to another state of matter?
Thermal expansion
