27
What are two examples of molecules?
1. polymers 2. resins
28
Vast repeating arrays of bonded elements
crystal (lattices)
29
Metallic and ionic bonds commonly form
crystal (lattices)
30
What is the repeated pattern in a crystal (lattice) called?
unit cell
31
What is the molecular weight of crystal (lattices)?
no molecular weight
32
What are two examples of crystal (lattices)?
1. metal alloys 2. ceramics
33
True or false: In crystal (lattices) there are fewer types of elements when compared to molecules.
True
34
Elements that donate their electrons towards formation of metallic bonds in repeating crystalline array
metals
35
Collections of metallic elements (Al) and nonmetallic elements (O) held together by ionic bonds in crystalline arrays
Ceramics
36
The most diverse class of material because their unit structure is the molecule rather than the crystal. Elements are generally bonded via covalent bonds.
Polymers
37
What are the 4 general properties of metals?
1. strong, ductile 2. high density 3. high thermal/electrical conductivity 4. opaque/optically reflective
38
What are the 4 general properties of ceramics?
1. strong, brittle 2. medium-high density 3. poor thermal/electrical conductors 4. opaque, translucent or transparent
39
What are the 4 general properties of polymers?
1. weak, ductile 2. low density 3. low thermal/electrical conductivity 4. opaque, translucent or transparent
40
What defines a materials properties?
the atoms and their bonding arrangement
41
What are the 4 material properties?
42
Ionic bonds.... A) electrons are shared in a cloud B) electrons from one element is donated to another element C) electrons from elements are shared to form a bond D) only metallic elements are bonded
B) electrons from one element is donated to another element
43
A common characteristic/property of materials built with metallic bonds A) only non-metallic elements are bonded B) good conductors of electricity/heat C) mechanically weak D) polymers are built with metallic bonds
B) good conductors of electricity/heat
44
Strongest atomic bond A) covalent B) metallic C) ionic D) van der Waals E) hydrogen
C) ionic
45

A) ionic bonds
47
Those properties that involve a reaction to an applied external load.
Mechanical properties
48
Why do mechanical properties involve a reaction to an applied external load?
To predict the behaviour and determine if the material can operate without failure
49
What are the 10 mechanical properties?
50
What is the force/load?
51
What is the definition of stress?
52
What are the units for load?
1. Newton (N) OR 2. Pounds (lbf)
53
Consider this example of a man and lady. Which heel is experiencing higher (A) load and (B) stress?
(A) male = higher load - Fman = (100 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 981 N - Flady = (50 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 490.5 N (B) lady = higher stress * if you took the above numbers and divided by the area, you would get the stress and the lady's would be higher
54
What are the units for stress?
55
What are the two most common units used in the materials world?
1. Megapascal (MPa) 2. Gigapascal (GPa)
56
Describe the stresses in a tooth
57
What is the equation for strain?
change in length/ original length
58
How do you measure mechanical properties?
utilizing the stress-strain curve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSRqJdT2COE
59
Why are mechanical properties relevant?
1. predict deformation after applying a load 2. predict failure of material 3. determine the range of usefulness of a material and establish the service life that can be expected
60
