Atomic and Molecular Structure Flashcards
Metallic bonding
Atomic orbitals combine to form delocalized electron cloud shared by large number of atoms - non-directional
Secondary bonds
- Van der Waals: weak bonding induced by fluctuating/permanent molecular dipoles
- H bonding: bonding between protons + available electron pair
- Directional
Is covalent bonding directional?
Yuh
Is ionic bonding directional?
No
Comparison of bond energies for diff bonds
- Ionic: large
- Covalent: variable
- Metallic: variable
- Secondary: smallest
Melting temperature bond energy relationship
Tm larger if Eo larger - proportional to depth of potential energy curve
Elastic modulus bond energy relationship
E is larger if Eo larger - proportional to curvature at ro (unstretched length) energy
Coefficient of thermal expansion bond energy relationship
Coeff is larger if Eo is smaller - proportional to symmetry at ro energy (low Eo = asymmetry)
Hardness bond energy relationship
Proportional to Eo - hardness is resistance of surface to plastic deformation + influenced by height of total force curve so materials w/high Tm are harder
Electrical conductivity from bond nature
- Ionic + covalent are poor conductors as electrons not free to leave atoms used in bonding
- Metallic are good as low ionization energy + electrons free within crystal lattice
Ceramics material properties (they have ionic + covalent bonds)
Large bond energy, large Tm, large E + small coeff
Metals material properties (metallic bonding)
Variable bond energy, moderate Tm, moderate E + moderate coeff
Polymers material properties (covalent + secondary)
Directional properties, secondary bonding dominates, small T, small E + large coeff
How does band splitting work?
- Occurs 1st on outer shells - effect smaller as we go towards nucleus + splitting of given level increases as distance decreases
- Discrete energy states w/small energy differences (continuum)
Valence band
Band having highest energy electrons at 0K
