Study Notes
Atomic Structure and Bonding
- Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons from hydrogen atoms.
- Ionic bonding occurs between cations (+) and anions (-) and requires electron transfer.
- Ionic bonds are formed when one or more electrons are removed from one atom and attached to another, resulting in positive and negative ions that attract each other.
- The energy of ionic bonding is determined by the balance between attractive and repulsive terms.
- The periodic table of elements is a key tool in understanding atomic structure and bonding.
- Ionic bonding is the predominant type of bonding in ceramics such as NaCl, MgO, and CaF2.
- Ceramic materials can have binary compositions like NaCl and CaF2, or complex compositions like calcium sulfate and mica.
- Metallic bonding involves the delocalization of electrons to form an "electron cloud" that is shared among all atoms.
- The properties of electrons in metallic bonding can be described by their energy levels and their ability to conduct electricity.
- Primary bonds are formed through ionic, metallic, or covalent bonding, depending on the electronegativity values of the atoms involved.
- Secondary bonding, also known as van der Waals bonding, arises from attractive forces between dipoles.
- The properties of materials, such as melting temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion, are related to the type and strength of bonding.

- The Periodic Table of Elements shows the arrangement of elements based on their atomic structure.
- Ionic bonding is the predominant bonding in ceramics such as NaCl, MgO, and CaF2.
- Ceramic materials are composed of metals and non-metals, with examples including NaCl, CsCl, CaF2, and various oxides, carbides, nitrides, and borides.
- Metallic bonds involve electrons delocalized to form an "electron cloud" and are characterized by partially filled energy bands of valence electrons.
- The properties of the electrons in metallic bonds are described by the energy levels and the Pauli exclusion principle.
- Primary bonds, such as ionic, metallic, and covalent bonds, are formed when atoms are close enough for their atomic orbitals to interact.
- Secondary bonding, also known as Van der Waals bonding, arises from attractive forces between dipoles.
- Properties related to bonding include melting temperature (Tm), which is influenced by bond length and bond energy, and the coefficient of thermal expansion (αl), which relates to the change in length of a material with temperature.
