17
Q

What is metallic bond?

A
  • Attraction between positive cores and free electrons or electron cloud
  • in metal
18
Q

Characteristics of the metallic bonds

A
  1. High thermal and electrical conductivity
  2. High strength and hardness
  3. Opacity (absorption of light by the free electrons)
  4. Lustrous (free electrons reemit the light)
  5. Malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets without fracture)
  6. Ductile (can we drive into thin wires)
19
Q

Two types of formation of electrical dipoles in secondary bonds

A
  1. Fluctuating dipole
  2. Permanent dipole
20
Q

What is fluctuating dipole?

A
  • more electrons on one side of the nucleus than the other
  • Asymmetry electrons distribution
  • Causing weak attractive forces between the fluctuating dipole in joining atoms
21
Q

What is permanent dipole?

A
  • Example: hydrogen bond
  • Electrons around oxygen nucleus are more than those around the hydrogen nucleus
  • Positive hydrogen and negative oxygen will cause weak attractive force
22
Q

Characteristics of secondary bonds

A
  1. Low strength and hardness
  2. Low thermal resistance
23
Q

Factors of spacing of solid atoms

A
  1. Forces of attraction
  2. Forces of repulsion
24
Q

Factors affecting inter-atomic distance

A
  1. Number of adjacent atoms (-ve)
  2. Effect of temperature (+ve)
  3. Type of bond (primary>secondary)
  4. External force application (increase tensile stress)
25
Q

Classification of solids according to the type of bond between atoms

A
  1. Atomic solid
  2. Molecular solid
26
Q

Difference between atomic solid and molecular solids

A

Atomic solid
1. Primary bond exists between the atoms and molecules
2. High strength and hardness

Molecular solid
1. Primary bond between atoms, but secondary bond between the molecules
2. No strength and hardness

27
Q

Classification of solids, according to arrangement of atoms

A
  1. Crystalline solids
  2. Amorphous solid
28
Q

What is space lattice?

A

Regular arrangement of atoms in space

29

A

About 14 but only few of dental interest

30
Q

What is unit cell?

A

The smallest repeating unit in the space lattice

31
Q

Unit cells are classified according to

A
  1. Length of axes (a,b,c)
  2. Interfacial angle (alpha beta gamma)
32
Q

Types of cubic system

A
  1. Simple cubic system (S.C.)
  2. Body centered cubic (B.C.C)
  3. Face centered cubic (F.C.C.)
33
Q

Formula of atomic packing factors

A

Atomic packing factors = volume of atoms inside the unit cell / volume of unit cell

^ APF ^ density ^ strength properties

34
Q

What is the meaning of amorphous?

A

Without shape

35
Q

Difference between crystalline and amorphous solids

A

Crystalline solids
1. Definite melting point
2. Regular unit cell with repetition
3. Low internal energy

Amorphous solids
1. Melting range
2. No regular unit cell
3. High internal energy

36
Q

What is polymorphism?

A

Polymorphic materials that can exist with more than one crystal structure by changing the surrounding physical condition, such as silica (SiO2)

37
Q

Forms of silica structure

A
  1. Quartz
  2. Tridymite
  3. Cristobalite
  4. Fused quartz
38
Q

A
  1. Reconstructive transformation
  2. Displacive transformation
39
Q

Difference between reconstructive transformation and displasive transformation

A

Reconstructive transformation
1. Breakdown atomic bond followed by reconstruction of new space lattice
2. No expansion
3. Slow transformation
4. High temperature needed

Displacive transformation
1. No breakdown of atomic bond
2. Expansion occurred
3. Rapid transformation
4. Low temperature

40
Q

Types of crystalline imperfections

A
