module 3 Flashcards
refers to the arrangement, type, and ratio of atoms in
molecules of chemical substances.varies when chemicals are
added or subtracted from a substance, when the ratio of substances changes, or when
other chemical changes occur in chemicals.
Chemical composition
indicates the elements which
are combined together to form that material.
chemical composition of engineering material
represents how atoms are bounded to each other to form the
material. Many properties, such as melting point, boiling point, thermal conductivity and
electrical conductivity of materials are governed by it
Atomic bonding
types of Atomic bonds in materials are :
Ionic Bonds, Covalent Bonds, Metallic Bonds
is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is
a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions.
Ionic Bonds
This type of bonding occurs between two atoms of the same element or of
elements close to each other in the periodic table.
Covalent Bonds
is a type of chemical bonding that rises from the electrostatic
attractive force between conduction electrons (in the form of an electron cloud of
delocalized electrons) and positively charged metal ions.
Metallic Bonds
is a gradual chemical or electrochemical attack on a metal by its
surrounding medium. due by it metal starts getting converted into an oxide,
salt or some other compound.
Corrosion
is the ability of material to resist the oxidation in
atmospheric condition. Generally pure metals such as iron, copper, aluminum etc. gets
corroded in slowly in atmosphere.
Corrosion resistance of a material is
is a measure of a solution’s capacity to react with a strong base (usually
sodium hydroxide) to a predetermined pH value.
Acidity
is the measure of a solution’s
capacity to react with a strong acid (usually sulfuric acid) to a predetermined pH.
Alkalinity
The materials which are having pH value below 7 are called
Acetic
Materials which are having pH value greater than 7 are called
alkane.
indicates that how they react with other materials.
