    Study Notes

    • Atomic structure consists of a nucleus with protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
    • Reflectivity is the amount of light reflected from a material.
    • Thermal stress occurs when a body can't expand or contract freely due to temperature changes.
    • Melting point is the temperature where a solid transitions to a liquid.
    • Crystalline solids have a sharp melting point, while amorphous solids soften gradually.
    • Toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy without rupturing.
    • Hardness is the ability of a metal to cut another metal.
    • Hardness includes resistance to wear, scratching, deformation, and machinability.
    • Hardness can be measured through various tests like Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, and Shore.
    • The toughness of a material decreases when it is heated.
