Poly means
Many
Meros means
Units, Parts
Polymer means
Many parts/many units
Other name for thermoplastic
Thermosoftening Plastic
This polymer have their chains crossed linked by covalent bonds
Thermosetting Polymer
True or False. The resulting three-dimensional structure of thermosetting can be changed
False
This type of polymer becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling
Thermoplastic Polymer/Thermosoftening Plastic
These are atoms pack in periodic or 3D arrays
Crystalline Materials
These are atoms with no periodic packing
Noncrystalline Materials
Amorphous means
Noncrystalline
Two types of solids
Crystalline and Amorphous
The constituent particles have a regular arrangement
Crystalline Solids
They do not have a sharp characteristic melting point; they generally melt over a range and temperature
Amorphous Solids
What do you call something with different physical properties and different directions?
Anisotropy
What do you call something that have physical properties that are identical in all directions along any axis?
Isotropy
They can be cleaved along definite planes
Crystalline Solids
They are characterized by random arrangement of constituent particles
Amorphous Solids
The following are characteristics of Amorphous Solids except
A. They are characterized by random arrangement of constituent particles
B. They are characterized by sharp melting point
C. Their physical properties are identical in all directions along any axis
D. They cannot be cleaved along definite planes; they undergo irregular breakage when cut in a knife
B, Amorphous Solids does not have a sharp melting point, and melts over a range of temperature
Four classes of solids
Molecular, Ionic, Covalent, Metallic
This type of solid consist of high melting and boiling points, they are also good conductors of heat and electricity due to the presence of mobile electrons
Metallic Solids
This solid is made up of atoms that are bonded together by covalent bonds
Covalent Solids
This type of solid consist of high melting points. However, their thermal and electrical conductivity is poor.
Covalent Solids
This type of solid is held together by weak Van der Waals forces
Molecular Solids
This type of solid is characterized by london dispersion force and dipole-dipole attractions
Molecular Solids
This type of solid is hard, brittle, and have high melting and boiling points
Ionic Solids
In this type of solid, atoms are interlinked by covalent linkages to form giant network solids
Covalent Solids
The following are characteristics of Ionic Solids except
A. Soft
B. Brittle
C. Have high melting & boiling points
D. Hard
A, They are hard
This type of solid consist of constituent particles that are positive kernels immerse in a sea of mobile electrons.
Metallic Solids
The following are characteristics of molecular solids except
A. Poor thermal conduction
B. Good electrical conduction
C. Soft
D. Poor electrical conduction
B, they have poor thermal and electrical conduction
The following are examples of molecular solids except
