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
by moving to areas of greater heat/energy or larger volumes, what happens?
more microstates are accessible and entropy increases
molecules have three types of motion/freedom- they are?
vibrational, translational, rotational
at lower temperatures, how does this affect microstates?
fewer accessible microstates, less energy to access more of them
colder things will spontaneously do what?
absorb energy from warmer ones- ice will melt, because liquid water has greater entropy
what processes are isothermal?
melting/freezing and boiling/condensation
define isothermal
energy goes to breaking molecules apart or bringing them together
What does it mean to be a state function? Example?
route from initial to final doesn’t matter, only change and entropy
delta S system =
delta S final- delta S initial
delta S system =
qrev/T (K)
q=
heat that can leave or enter a system from the surroundings
what are forward and reverse processes?
melting and freezing are equal and opposite
for a process to be spontaneous, delta S univ must be
positive
delta S universe =
delta S system + delta S surroundings
Why does ice melt or water freeze spontaneously?
changes in temp give differences in the entropy for otherwise equal and opposite systems
dissolving a solid or diluting a solution is (blank)
- spontaneous
- solute molecules gain more freedom/disorder by entering system, even if some of the solvent molecules become slightly more ordered
interstitial
nonhost fills holes in host
substitutional
host replaced with non-host
types of substititutional
heterogeneous- clumps
homogeneous- random, even distribution
solids are usually composed of
mix of elements
alloy
mixture of metals with the goal of improving the properties of metals (stronger, corrosion resistant, conductive)
what are a few examples of common alloys?
Brass (cu and zn) Stainless steel (Fe and Cr)
metallic bond
shared pool of electrons where atoms are densely packed and valence orbitals overlap
band theory explains what?
sea of electrons
molecular orbits form
valence band
Are metals good conductors?
yes
semiconductors
- electronics
- valence and conduction bands separated by gap
- less energy by shifting atoms
doping semiconductors changes (blank)
band gap
if an element gives extra electrons it (blank)
raises valence bond
if an element gives holes- missing electrons it (blank)
lowers conduction band
if the element gives extra electrons it is known as the
n type (extra negative)
if the element gives holes, it is known as the
p type (extra positive)
no current means there is
no electron flow and electrons stuck in valence bond
current means there is
electron flow and electrons move from valence to conduction band
structures of metals
metal atoms can solidify in highly ordered “crystalline lattice”
hexagonal close packed (HCP) has what type of layering?
ababab
cubic close packed (CCP) has what type of layering?
abcabcabc and each atom touches 12 atoms
what type of cells have the densest packing?
HCP and CCP 74%
packing efficiency
volume of atoms/volume of cell x 100
