Chapter 2: Structure of Matter and Principles of Adhesion Flashcards
The state of a material is a function of ________.
Temperature
(The more energy that is put into a material by increasing its temperature, the more difficult it is to keep the atoms or molecules in close proximity to one another.)
INFO ONLY: The study of dental materials of necessity requires a basic knowledge of matter particularly solids if the properties of the material are to be understood.
Change of State of Matter
What happens when heat is applied to atoms or molecules of a solid?
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.)
Thermal energy required to convert a solid to a vapor.
Heat of Vaporization
What do you call the heat energy RELEASED as solid changes to liquid?
Latent Heat of Fusion
What do you call the heat energy REQUIRED to change solid to liquid?
Fusion temperature
The force required to free atoms or molecules from a liquid and become gas.
Vapor Pressure
What do you call the process of changing solid into gas?
Sublimation
What is the bonding force that holds the atoms together?
Cohesive Force
The force of attraction between the molecules or atoms on two different surfaces as they are brought into contact.
Adhesion
The force of attraction between the molecules or atoms within a given material (not on the surface).
Cohesion
Two Types of Bonds
- Primary Bonds
- Secondary Bonds
This bond is chemical in nature. It holds the atoms of solids together which makes it stronger and stable.
Primary Bonds
This bond is characterized by physical forces. They hold the atoms of liquids together, therefore it is weak and unstable.
Secondary Bonds
This bond is also called chemical bonds.
Primary Bonds
Three Different Types of Primary Bonds
- Ionic Bonds
- Covalent Bonds
- Metallic Bonds
IMC ⛪
A strong and stable bond which results from sharing of electrons between to atoms.
Covalent Bond
This bond is an interaction between a positively and a negatively charged atom.
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 (+)]
This bond involves many atoms sharing all of their outer (valence) electrons with their neighbors.
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)
This bond involves weaker attractions of charge.
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.)
This bond is also responsible for the adhesion between a liquid and a solid or between two solids that are not chemically attached.
Secondary Bonding
Ex. Dental Polymers
Types of Secondary Bonding
- Van der Waals
- Hydrogen Bonding
Types of Hydrogen Bonding
- Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding
- Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding
Attraction between atoms, molecules and surfaces caused by correlations in the fluctuating polarizations of nearby particles.
Van der Waals Bonding
It is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom, like nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.
Hydrogen Bond
They are weaker than primary bonding because they are intermolecular rather than intramolecular.
