Materials Science Quiz

A chemical bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

A chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

A chemical bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and a sea of delocalized electrons.

Weak attractive forces between molecules or atomic groups arising from temporary or permanent electrical dipoles

A type of secondary bond resulting from the attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) and another electronegative atom.

Weak attractive forces between molecules or atoms arising from temporary fluctuations in electron distribution.

Ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid state.

Ability of a substance to conduct electricity or heat.

Ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance.

Weak interatomic forces between atoms due to fluctuating electric charges.

Stronger than Van der Waals, occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (e.g., oxygen or nitrogen).

Solids with atoms arranged in a regular, repeating pattern (space lattice).

Solids with atoms arranged randomly, without a repeating pattern.

A regular, repeating three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a crystalline solid.

The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid state.

The temperature where an amorphous solid starts to soften and flow.
