Metallic elements give up valence electrons to non-metallic elements

All atoms have filled “inert gas” configuration

Ionic solid

Non-directional Bond

23
Q

Shared electrons belong to both atoms

Directional bond

24

Optical Microscopy

A

Light used to study microstructure

Opaque materials use reflected light, where transparent materials use reflected/transmitted light

45
Q

Electron Microscopy

A

Beams of electrons used for imaging

Electrons are accelerated across large voltages

High Velocity electron has wavelength of 0.003 nm

Electron beam focused and images are formed using magnetic lenses

Reflection and transmission imaging both possible

46
Q

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

A

Electron beam scans surface and reflected electrons are collected

Samples must be electrically conductive

A

Electron beam passes through the material

Thin samples

Details of internal microstructure observed

1,000,000x magnification possible

48
Q

Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM)

A

3D topographical map of material surface

Probe brought into close proximity of material surface

Probe rastered across the surface experiencing deflection in response to interactions with material surface

Useful with many types of materials

49
Q

X-Ray Diffraction

A

Form of light that has high energy and short wavelength

Strike a material and scattered in all directions

If atoms in material is crystalline or well-ordered, constructive interference can occur
