Study Notes
Atomic Bonding
- Linking of atoms to create larger structures, such as solids.
Density
- Defined as mass per unit volume (Density = mass/volume).
- Weight density is also relevant, calculated as weight per unit volume.
- Represents how much of a substance is contained in a given space.
Elasticity
- Material property allowing shape change under force and return to original shape when force is removed.
Hooke's Law
- Describes the linear relationship between force applied and deformation of elastic materials.
- Expressed as F ~ ∆χ, where F is force and ∆χ is change in length; with the spring constant, it’s F = k∆χ.
Scaling
- Examines how physical size impacts relationships among weight, strength, and surface area.
Crystal
- Regular geometric shapes in solids with component particles organized in an orderly, repeating three-dimensional pattern.
X-ray
- A type of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by atoms due to the excitation of innermost orbital electrons.
Amorphous Solids
- Noncrystalline solids with no ordered arrangement of atoms or molecules, including rubber, glass, and plastic.
- Exhibit random distribution of particles, allowing some freedom which contributes to their elasticity and long-term stress response.
Types of Bonding in Solids
- Four principal bonding types include:
- Ionic
- Covalent
- Metallic
- Van der Waals (the weakest bond)
Inelastic Materials
- Materials that do not revert to their original shape post deformation.
Elastic Limit
- The threshold of stretch or compression where elastic materials can no longer return to their original form.
Compression
- Mechanical action of squeezing materials, leading to volume reduction.
- In sound waves, refers to regions of increased pressure in longitudinal waves.
Tension
- Condition of an object when subjected to pulling or stretching forces.
Concept of Scaling
- Investigates how an object's volume and shape influence the relationships between its weight, strength, and surface area.
