We investigate theoretically the formation of collective excitations in atomic scale quasi-one dimensional metallic nanostructures. The response of the system is calculated within the linear response theory and random phase approximation. For uniform nanostructures a transition from quantum single particle excitations to classical plasmon scaling is observed, depending on the system length and electron density. We find crucial differences in the scaling behavior for quasi-one dimensional and three-dimensional nanostructures. The presence of an additional modulating on-site potential is shown to localize electrons, leading to the response function that is highly sensitive to the number of electrons at low fillings.
