The queen is too valuable to exchange for any other piece, so it can't do much by itself unless the opponent carelessly leaves pieces unprotected.
It is better to wait until other pieces are developed, enabling the queen to coordinate an attack with those pieces rather than on her own.

White also could have moved out the light-squared bishop.
That would not be a bad idea, but it isn't clear yet whether the bishop 
wants to beis best deployed at c4, b5, e2, or even g2.
The knight, on the other hand, usually goes to f3 anyway, because the other squares it could move to are inferior.
On e2 (or especially) h3 it would not have as much influence on the center, and on e2 it would also temporarily block white's bishop.

Moving the other knight with 2.Nc3 is also good, but carries no threat. Moreover, with the knight blocking the c-pawn, White would lose the option of c3 followed by d4, which is often useful in double king-pawn openings. Part of the strength of 2.Nf3 is that it keeps open many options for White's later play.⏎

The words "King's Knight Opening" and "C40" both describe the opening moves of the game (see [[chess opening]]).  The descriptive names have developed over the years, with many openings being named after a player who pioneered or popularized that opening, or a place where the opening originated.  The letter/number combination was developed for use in the [[Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings]] and moved into general use from there.  The names of the openings in both systems can be found(contracted; show full)
