Study Notes

Lecture 2 (W2) - Bonding in Materials

  • Lecture date: October 4, 2024
  • Lecturer: Maulik Patel
  • Email: [email protected]
  • Course: MATS105 Introduction to Engineering Materials

Topics Covered in the Module

  • Introduction to materials properties, microstructure, classifications, and selection
  • Materials: Metals and alloys, polymers and polymer-composites, structural ceramics and glasses, construction materials (cement, concrete, wood, etc.)
  • Mechanical properties/testing/failure of materials: Tensile test, deformation, hardness, fatigue, creep, impact fracture
  • Industrial alloys: Strengthening processes in metals, heat treatment of metals, industrial alloy specifications and application

Learning Objectives

  • How do atoms assemble into solid structures?
  • How does material density depend on its structure?
  • When do material properties vary with crystal orientation?
  • How are planes and directions in crystals named?
  • Callister Chapters 1 & 2

Atomic Structure

  • Electrons: Charge = -1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C, Mass = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg
  • Nucleus: Protons and neutrons
    • Proton charge = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C, Mass = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
    • Neutron: Neutral, Mass = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
  • Atomic number (Z) = Number of protons = Number of electrons
  • Atomic mass number (A) = Z + N, where N = Number of neutrons
  • Isotopes: Atoms of an element with the same Z but different A

Electronic Configurations

  • Valence electrons: Electrons in the outermost unfilled shells
  • Filled shells are more stable
  • Valence electrons influence chemical properties and bonding
  • Example: C (atomic number 6) : 1s² 2s² 2p² (valence electrons = 4)

The Periodic Table

  • Columns have similar valence structures
  • Electropositive elements: Readily give up electrons to become positive ions
  • Electronegative elements: Readily acquire electrons to become negative ions
  • Electronegativity: Ranges from 0.9 to 4.1, Larger values indicate a tendency to gain electrons
  • Rule of Thumb: When difference in electronegativity (ΔX) > 1.7, compounds are usually ionic

Bonding Forces and Energies

  • Attractive forces (FA) and repulsive forces (FR) influence interatomic separation (r)
  • Net force (FN) = FA + FR
  • Repulsive energy (ER), Attractive energy (EA), and Net energy (EN) are plotted against interatomic separation, showing the equilibrium distance (r₀) and bond energy (E₀)

Ionic Bonding

  • Bond between metal and nonmetal

  • Metal donates electrons to nonmetal

  • Nonmetals accept donated electrons

  • Dissimilar electronegativities are required for ionic bonding

  • Example: MgO (Magnesium Oxide)

    • Mg: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² → Mg²⁺: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
    • O: 1s² 2s² 2p⁴ → O²⁻: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

  • Ionic bonding occurs between oppositely charged ions due to Coulombic force

  • Strong, non-directional bonding

  • Range between 600 to 1500 kJ/mol

Covalent Bonding

  • Bond between atoms with similar electronegativity
  • Electrons are shared between atoms through overlapping orbitals (s and p)
  • Example: H₂ and CH₄
  • Relatively strong directional bonding

Metallic Bonding

  • Outer electrons released and shared among all atoms in a solid
  • "Sea of valence electrons" surrounds positively charged ions
  • Strong, non-directional
  • Atoms tend to be densely packed and metallic bonding is not directional. Nearest neighbors tend to be small to minimize bond energy.
  • Electron cloud shields cores

Primary Bonding in Most Materials

  • Metallic Bonding: Delocalized electron cloud
  • Ionic-Covalent Mixed Bonding: % ionic character = {1 - exp[-(0.25)(XA - XB)²]} × 100, where XA and XB are Pauling electronegativities

Bonding Types & Classification of Materials

  • Ionic: Large bond energy, non-directional (ceramics)
  • Covalent: Variable bond energy, directional (semiconductors, ceramics, polymer chains)
  • Metallic: Variable bond energy, non-directional (metals)
  • Secondary: Smallest bond energy, directional (inter-chain, inter-molecular)

Properties from Bonding: Melting Point

  • Melting point (Tm) is influenced by bond energy (E₀). Higher E₀ corresponds to higher Tm.

Properties from Bonding: Thermal Expansion

  • Thermal expansion coefficient (α) is influenced by bond strength. Stronger bonds have smaller α.

Atomic and Ionic Radii

  • Atomic radii decrease across a period and increase down a group (periodic table)
  • Ionic radii depend on charge. Cations are smaller and anions are larger than their corresponding neutral atoms.

Energy and Packing

  • Dense, ordered packing generally leads to lower energy in materials.

Classes of Materials

  • Classification by bonding types: Metals, Ceramics, Polymers
  • Classification by atomic order: Crystalline, Noncrystalline, Semicrystalline

Crystal Structures

  • Unit cell: Simplest repeating unit in a crystal
  • Lattice: Point arrangement that forms a crystal
  • Basis: Atoms or molecules associated with lattice points
  • 7 crystal systems and 14 Bravais lattices.

Theoretical Density

  • Density (ρ) = (Number of atoms/cell × Atomic mass) / [Volume of unit cell × Avogadro's number]

Allotropic or Polymorphic Transformations

  • Allotropy: Elements exist in multiple crystal structures
  • Polymorphism: Compounds exist in multiple crystal structures
  • Example: Zirconia (ZrO2) and Iron (Fe)

Single vs Polycrystalline Materials

  • Single crystals are anisotropic
  • Polycrystals are isotropic or anisotropic depending on grain orientation

Crystallographic Directions

  • Using a specified coordinate system, determine the direction vector and divide the components of the vector by their greatest common denominator. Enclose the components in square brackets(uvw)

Crystallographic Planes

  • Miller indices for a crystal are determined by taking the reciprocals of the intercepts of the plane with a, b, and c axes (the crystallographic axes). The common denominators are removed before enclosing them in rounded parentheses without commas (hkl).

Additional Notes

  • Various examples, diagrams (images, graphs) illustrate the concepts of bonding, crystal structures, and properties of materials.
  • Specific numerical data is given in tables about compounds, materials, and properties.
