Unit 2 (ch 12,18,14) Flashcards
mixture of solid metals
alloys
Use alloys to…
alter and improve properties of individual metals
Metallic bonds consist of (blank)
shared electron pools
Describe metallic bond
Are electrons easy or hard to pull away?
valence orbitals overlap with neighbors to give delocalized electron pool
-easy
What happens when more metal ions bind together?
End up with a band of valence and/or conduction energy levels (valence and conduction bands)
Semiconductors principle/explanation
valence and conduction bands are separated by a band gap, which varies in energy depending on compounds
larger band gaps =
higher energy between the two bands, harder for electrons to move between them
structures of metals
different, highly ordered ways that atoms can arrange to give a layer organization of metals
What are unit cells?
smallest repeating units, stack together to form crystalline structure
Dimensions of the unit cells are determined by
packing of atoms
length of cubic
2r
BCC radius
0.4330 times length
FCC radius
0.3536 times length
Alloys
different atoms either substitute or fit between the originals
interstitial alloys
new atoms fit between the regular ones
What type of hole has the most space?
cubic
What is the ratio equation for the holes?
r guest/ r host
What is the cubic holes ratio?
0.73-1.00
NaCl is a compound where (blank) holes are filled by
octahedral, Na+ ions
1st law of thermodynamics
energy not created nor destroyed, just transferred
to determine the spontaneity of a process, we look at
entropy of system, surroundings, and universe
2nd law of thermodynamics
energy wants to spread out
Spontaneous means
no input is needed for the process to occur- doesn’t always happen fast
microstates represent
unique arrangements of different options/states
