Study Notes
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.
