The types of bonds are determined by the degree of filling of the outer electron shells. We have already learned about three types of bonds, all of which are made possible by the redistribution of electrons. a) Ionic bonding : Admission and submission of electrons b) Covalents Bonding : Formation of electron pairs (electrons are sharing an orbit) c) Metal bonding : Delocalization of electrons d) Van der Waals or Molecular: This bond is less a chemical bond than a physical effect that occurs between molecules, but it is still usually referred to as a bond. 12 Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt – Campus Neuburg | Chemistry & Building Materials (SCE) Winter 2023 | Prof. Dr. O.

Rocks are heterogeneous mixtures of individual building blocks, the minerals. Minerals are chemically and physically uniform natural substances formed in the earth's crust; they are usually in crystalline form. An important subdivision of rocks concerns their cohesion. While solid rock can be used directly as a building material (natural stone), loose rock (sands, clays) must be solidified with the help of a binder. With regard to their formation, rocks are divided into 3 groups: igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks were formed directly by the cooling of liquid magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed from other rocks through weathering processes. Metamorphic rocks are formed by the transformation of igneous or sedimentary rocks. 51 Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt – Campus Neuburg | Chemistry & Building Materials (SCE) Winter 2023 | Prof. Dr. O.

Anhydrite changes into gypsum without an intermediate stage (e.g. hemihydrate. The rate of hydration depends on the solubility difference between the binder and dihydrate. β-Hemihydrate is more soluble than 𝛼hemihydrate, so the former crystallizes more quickly than dihydrate and sets more quickly. Anhydrite II does not have a significantly higher solubility than gypsum, above that it 30°𝐶 even has a lower solubility, therefore pure anhydrite II does not react, but requires a stimulator such as K2SO4. 71 Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt – Campus Neuburg | Chemistry & Building Materials (SCE) Winter 2023 | Prof. Dr. O.
