Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- Bohr Atomic Model describes electrons revolving around the nucleus in discrete orbitals, with specific positions defined per orbital.
- Electrons have a mass of 9.11 x 10^-31 kg; protons and neutrons each have a mass of 1.67 x 10^-27 kg.
- Atomic number indicates the number of protons (and electrons in neutral atoms).
- Atomic mass unit (amu) quantifies the mass of protons and neutrons combined, with 1 amu = 1 g/mol at 6.022 x 10^23 particles.
- Electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle characteristics, occupying orbitals determined by quantum numbers.
Electron Energy States
- Electrons tend to occupy the lowest energy states available, forming distinct energy levels (K, L, M, N shells).
Electron Configurations
- Valence electrons primarily in unfilled outer shells influence bonding and chemical properties.
- Example: Carbon (C) has an electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p² with four valence electrons.
Bonding Types
- Ionic Bonding: Occurs between positively and negatively charged ions. Example: Sodium Chloride (NaCl) requires a significant electronegativity difference for electron transfer.
- Covalent Bonding: Involves sharing electrons between atoms with similar electronegativities, exemplified by methane (CH₄).
- Metallic Bonding: Electrons are delocalized in metals and alloys, forming a "sea of electrons" that contribute to metallic properties.
Secondary Bonding
- Weaker than primary bonding, arising from dipole interactions (Van der Waals forces).
- Hydrogen bonding is a specific type of secondary bonding found in molecules like water (H₂O) and hydrogen fluoride (HF).
Bond Energy Summary
- Ionic Bonds: High bond energy, non-directional, prevalent in ceramics.
- Covalent Bonds: Variable bond energy, typically directional, significant in semiconductors and polymers.
- Metallic Bonds: Range in bond energy, non-directional, characteristic of metals.
- Secondary Bonds: Lowest bond energy, directional, significant in polymers.
Properties from Bonding
- Bond length and bond energy influence melting temperature (Tm) and thermal expansion coefficient (α).
- Higher bond energy (E₀) correlates with elevated melting temperatures (Tm).
- Coefficient of thermal expansion (α) is larger when bond energy is smaller.
Summarized Characteristics by Material Type
- Ceramics: High bond energy (ionic & covalent), featuring high Tm, high elastic modulus (E), and low α.
- Metals: Variable bond energy (metallic), moderate Tm, moderate E, and α.
- Polymers: Dominated by secondary bonding, resulting in low Tm, low E, and high α.
