Module 3 Flashcards
materials that contain more than one element
alloys
types of alloys
SIH
SUBSTITUTIONAL, INTERSTITIAL, HETEROGENOUS ALLOYS
element takes place of a metal atom
substitutional alloys
element that fills a space in the lattice of metal atoms
interstitial alloys
components not dispersed uniformly
heterogeneous alloys
compounds not mixtures
distinct properties, definite composition, ordered rather than randomly distributed , more brittle than substitutional alloys
intermetallic compounds
a group of cations suspended in a sea of electrons
metallic bonding
the electron sea model would lead to increased attraction for every
electron added
Rules of MO theory
- atomic orbitals combine to make MOs to extend over the entire molecule
- MO can contain 0,1,2 electrons
- number of MOs equal the number of atomic orbitals
- adding electrons to a bonding MO strengthens bonding, while adding them to antibonding MOs weakens bonding
the number of atoms in a chain increases, the energy gap disappears resulting in
continuous band of energy
held together by electrostatic attractions
ionic solids
have very high melting and boiling points
ionic solids
the charge is centered on the anions they are called
electronic insulators
three common structures
CsCl structure
NaCl structure
Zinc blende
consist of atoms or molecules held together by weaker forces
molecular solids
ability to stack matters for some physical properties, like boiling point
shape
example of molecular solids
graphite
