Atomic Structure and Bonding

An atom's nucleus is primarily composed of protons and neutrons.
Electronegativity measures an atom's tendency to attract electrons during a chemical bond.
Electrons are the subatomic particles that determine an element's chemical properties.
At equilibrium bond length, the bonding force between atoms is minimized.
A large difference in electronegativity between two atoms typically results in an ionic bond.

Crystal Structures

In a Hexagonal Close-Packed (HCP) crystal structure, three atoms are effectively contained within a single unit cell.
Close-packed crystal structures are defined by maximum packing efficiency of atoms.
The Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) structure contains atoms at each of its eight corners and one atom at the center of the unit cell.
In the BCC structure, two atoms are effectively contained within a single unit cell.
The coordination number in Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) metal crystal structures is eight.

Polymer Chemistry

The isotactic arrangement in polymers has all pendant groups on the same side of the chain.
An alternating copolymer features monomer units arranged in a regular ABAB pattern.
Copolymers are formed from the polymerization of two or more different monomers.
Tacticity refers to the arrangement of side groups along the polymer chain.
The molecular weight of a polymer is defined as the mass of a single polymer chain.

Point Defects

An interstitial defect occurs when an atom occupies an empty lattice site between normal lattice points.
Schottky defects involve the presence of both cation and anion vacancies.
Point defects are localized disturbances that occur at crystallographic planes.
A screw dislocation is characterized by a helical ramp resulting from shear deformation within the crystal structure.
