Q

What happens when heat is applied to atoms or molecules of a solid?

A

It moves apart or it expands.

(The addition of sufficient heat causes a solid to melt and become liquid. Further addition of heat to a liquid causes it to vaporize and become gas. Increasing the energy within a given material through the application of heat can have a destabilizing effect on both its structure and dimensions.)

18
Q

This bond is an interaction between a positively and a negatively charged atom.

A

Ionic Bond

[One atom donates its electron to another and both atoms become stable through the linkage. These bonds are not relied on heavily because they often are unstable in water.

Ex. Sodium (+) and Chloride (-)
Gypsum, GIC, Polycarboxylate cemens (-) and Tooth Structure (+)]

Q

This bond involves many atoms sharing all of their outer (valence) electrons with their neighbors.

A

Metallic Bond

(The arrangements is very strong and stable, with the shared electrons free to move between and among the billions of atoms that make up the solid, never being tightly held to any specific atom. This accounts for the ability of a metal to conduct electricity and heat readily.

Ex. All metallic dental materials)

Q

A

Secondary Bonding

(These interactions keep the molecules or atoms in a liquid from dispersing and becoming gas, but they generally are not strong enough to keep the liquid confined without external container.)

27
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: The hydrogen must be covalently bonded to another electropositive atom to create the bond.

A

FALSE

The hydrogen must be covalently bonded to another ELECTRONEGATIVE atom to create the bond. These bonds can occur between molecules (intermolecularly), or within different parts of a single molecule (intramolecularly).

28
Q

Which bond is stronger that a Van der Waals but weaker than covalent or ionic bonds?

A

Hydrogen Bond

29
Q

This type of bond occurs in both inorganic molecules such as water and organic molecules such as DNA.

A

Hydrogen Bond

30
Q

Responsible for the high boiling point of water (100’C). This is because of the strong hydrogen bond.

A

Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding

31
Q

Partly responsible for the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins and nucleic acids.

A

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding

32
Q

A limiting factor that prevents the atoms or molecules from approaching each other too closely.

A

Interatomic Distance

33
Q

As two atoms come closer together, the energy does not change a great deal initially, after which the energy increases rapidly since the resultant repulsive force increases rapidly with little change in interatomic distance. The minimal energy is the condition of equilibrium or the equilibrium interatomic distance.

A

Bonding Energy

34
Q

The atoms at a temperature above absolute zero are in constant state of vibration, the average amplitude (extent) of which will depend upon the temperature. What kind of energy is this?

A

Thermal Energy

(The higher the temperature, the greater the amplitude and the greater the kinetic energy or internal energy.)

35
Q

Continuous increase in temperature = Increase in interatomic space.

What happens when this energy occurs?

A

Change of State

(Solid-liquid; liquid-gas)

36
Q

Temperature, Amplitude, Interatomic Spacing, Internal Energy = ?

A

Thermal Expansion

37
Q

The force required to move atoms away from their equilibrium spacing.

A

Melting Temperature

(A high melting point is accompanied by a greater stiffness.)

38
Q

The characteristic that determines the rate at which heat flows through a material. Heat is conducted from one atom or molecule to the next.

A

Thermal Conductivity

(The number of free electrons influence thermal conductivity.)

39
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Metals have many free electrons.

A

TRUE

They contain many free electrons and therefore good conductors of heat and electricity.

40
Q

Space Lattice or Crystal

41

A

45
Q

This happens when atoms change position in pure solids even under equilibrium conditions.

A

Self-diffusion

46
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Diffusion rates for given substance depend primarily on the temperature.

A

TRUE

The higher the temperature, the greater will be the rate of diffusion.

47
Q

Diffusion rate depends upon:

A

Atom Size
Interatomic
Intermolecular Bonding
Lattice Imperfection

48
Q

The amount of diffusion that takes place across a given unit area thru unit thickness of the substance in one unit time.

A

Coefficient of Diffusion (D)

49
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Most crystalline solids at room temperature = Low Coefficient of Diffusion (D)

A

TRUE

However, metals at high temperature may change radically by atomic diffusion.

50
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: In non-crystalline solids, diffusion may occur at a more rapid rate often evident at room temperature or body temperature.

A

TRUE

51
Q

- Penetration of Adhesive into microscopic or submicroscopic irregularities in the surface of the substrate

53
Q

The energy at the surface of a solid where outermost atoms are not equally attracted in all directions.

A

Surface Energy

54
Q

The attraction that atoms and molecules on the surface of the liquid have for one another.

A

Surface Tension

55
Q

The surface atoms or molecules are strongly held together and do not want to be displaced.

A

High Surface Tension

56
Q

The extent to which an adhesive will spread out on a surface.

A

Wetting

57
Q

The angle formed by the adhesive with the adherend at their interface.

A

Contact Angle

58
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: The size of the contact angle is the measurement of the wettability of the solid.

A

TRUE

59
Q

Types of Wetting

A
  1. Good Wetting
  2. Poor Wetting
60
Q

The contact angle is below 90°, with the best spreading to an angle approaching 0°.

A

Good Wetting

61
Q

The Contact Angle is obtuse.

A

Poor Wetting

62
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: The surface energy and the adhesive qualities of a given solid can be reduced by any surface impurities.

A

TRUE

The greater the surface energy, the greater will be the capacity for adhesion. An adhesive with a low surface tension and an adherend with a high surface energy provide the best possible situation for good adhesion.

63
Q

Factors that affect wettability:

A
  1. Contamination of the Surface
  2. Surface Imperfections
  3. Fluidity of the Adhesive
  4. Low Surface Energy of Solids
64
Q

Lack of adhesion between restoration and tooth results to:

A
  • Continuing tooth sensitivity
  • Recurrent caries
  • Deterioration at the margins of the restoration
65
Q

This reduces the surface energy of the enamel so that it retains less plaque, reducing enamel solubility to acid and resulting to reduction in dental caries formation.

A

Fluoride Application

66
Q

What causes the microleakage or higher incidence of marginal caries around restorations?

A

Many restorative materials have higher surface energy that the tooth surface margins of restoration has greater tendency to accumulate debris.
