CHAPTER 2 Flashcards
1
Q
What type of bonding is predominant in ceramics?
A
Ionic Bonding
2
Q
What is mixed bonding and what’s the most common type?
A
the probability that the electron is on which atom
covalent-ionic mixed bonding
3
Q
How does bond energy relate to melting temperature?
A
Larger the bond energy, the higher the Tm
4
Q
How does asymmetry of the E vs r curve relate to bond length, coefficient of thermal expansion (a), and E0
A
increase in bond length is due to asymmetry of the E vs r curve and results in an increase in alpha
As E0 increases, the asymmetry decreases
