LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.1 Identify phase changes and the basic properties of solids, liquids and gases Phases of Matter Different phases of matter behave in unique ways. ▪ In a solid, attraction between particles is greater than their energy of motion , particles are also close. Thus they form a definite shape ▪ In liquids, particles are close but their energy of motion and attraction are about the same. They have no definite shape and therefore form the shape of the container. ▪ Gas particles are far apart and their energy of attraction is less than their energy of motion. They have shape and can expand or compressed to fill the container LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.1 Identify phase changes and the basic properties of solids, liquids and gases Phase Differences ▪ Ice, liquid water and water vapor may consist of the same molecules, but they differ in several important ways. ▪ For example, it's difficult to compress a solid or liquid to a large degree, but you can easily compress a gas. ▪ Liquids and gases assume the shape of their containers, but solids do not. Gases have an additional ability to expand when they assume a container's shape and match the container's volume.

LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context ▪ P1.1 Identify phase changes and the basic properties of solids, liquids and gases Phase Diagram ▪ The pressure–temperature phase diagram of carbon dioxide (CO2) ▪ At atmospheric pressure (~100kPa), the solid converts directly to vapor ▪ At a temperature of 194.7 K; this can be seen in the sublimation of dry ice, CO2(s) LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.2 Describe the basic concept of atomic structure ATOM ▪ An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains all of the chemical properties of an element. ▪ Atoms combine to form molecules, which then interact to form solids, gases, or liquids. For example, water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that have combined to form water molecules. LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.2 Describe the basic concept of atomic structure ATOMIC STRUCTURE ▪ The atomic structure of an element refers to the constitution of its nucleus and the arrangement of the electrons around it. Primarily, the atomic structure of matter is made up of protons, electrons and neutrons. ▪ The protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom, which is surrounded by the electrons belonging to the atom. ▪ The atomic number of an element describes the total number of protons in its nucleus. ▪ Neutral atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, atoms may gain or lose electrons in order to increase their stability, and the resulting charged entity is called an ion. ▪ Atoms of different elements have different atomic structures because they contain different numbers of protons and electrons. This is the reason for the unique characteristics of different elements. LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.2 Describe the basic concept of atomic structure ATOMIC STRUCTURE RUTHERFORD BOHR You can read about atomic models for more understanding LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.2 Describe the basic concept of atomic structure ATOMIC STRUCTURE ▪ Atomic Mass ▪ Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, about 1.67 × 10-24 grams. Scientists define this amount of mass as one atomic mass unit (amu) or one Dalton. ▪ Although similar in mass, protons are positively charged, while neutrons have no charge. ▪ Therefore, the number of neutrons in an atom contributes significantly to its mass, but not to its charge. ▪ Electrons are much smaller in mass than protons, weighing only 9.11 × 10-28 grams, or about 1/1800 of an atomic mass unit. Therefore, they do not contribute much to an element’s overall atomic mass. ▪ When considering atomic mass, it is customary to ignore the mass of any electrons and calculate the atom’s mass based on the number of protons and neutrons alone. LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.3 Identify the key principles of the periodic table of elements Periodic Table ▪ Periodic table, in chemistry, is the organized array of all the chemical elements in order of increasing atomic number—i.e., the total number of protons in the atomic nucleus. ▪ Element symbol: – An abbreviation for the actual name of the element. ▪ Atomic Number: – The atomic number represents the number of protons within the nucleus. It also indicates the charge number. ▪ Atomic mass: – This is the number of protons, electrons and neutrons present within the atom of the element ▪ When the chemical elements are thus arranged, there is a recurring pattern called the “periodic law” in their properties, in which elements in the same column (group) have similar properties. The initial discovery, which was made by Dmitry I. Mendeleev in the mid-19th century, has been of inestimable value in the development of chemistry. LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.3 Identify the key principles of the periodic table of elements Principles of the periodic table ▪ Periods (rows): The elements are arranged in seven horizontal rows, known as periods, in order of increasing atomic number from left to right and top to bottom. Each period corresponds to a different electron shell or energy level. ▪ Groups (Columns): The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups. Elements within the same group exhibit similar chemical properties. There are 18 groups (numbered 1–18 from left to right). The main group elements are in groups 1, 2, and 13–18, while groups 3–12 contain the transition elements. The two rows at the bottom are the lanthanides and actinides. The periodic table classifies elements into three main categories: - Metals: Good conductors of electricity and heat, ductile, malleable, and lustrous. - Nonmetals: Typically lack metallic properties. - Semimetals: Exhibit properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPkEGAHo78o&t=609s LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.3 Identify the key principles of the periodic table of elements LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.3 Identify the key principles of the periodic table of elements LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.4 Describe the basic principles of elements and compounds Elements ▪ An element is the simplest (can’t be broken down into a simpler substance)form of matter that has a unique set of properties. Examples include oxygen, iron, and gold etc.. Likewise, one element cannot be chemically converted into a different element. ▪ Some elements have been known for centuries (gold, silver, iron, and copper among others) while others have been created in the lab only within the last several years. Compounds ▪ A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion. ▪ For example carbon and hydrogen combine to form many different compounds. ▪ One of the simplest is called methane, in which there are always four times as many hydrogen particles as carbon particles. Methane is a pure substance because it always has the same composition. However, it is not an element because it can be broken down into simpler substances - carbon and hydrogen. LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.2 Describe the basic concept of atomic structure COMPOUND ▪ (A) Sodium is so reactive that it must be stored under oil. ▪ (B) Chlorine is a poisonous yellow-green gas. ▪ (C) Salt crystals, a compound of sodium and chlorine. Prepared Washington.M.Kafesu LO.1 Outline the basic principles of matter and atomic structure in an engineering context P1.4 Describe the basic principles of elements and compounds COMPOUNDS ▪ Recall that the components of a mixture can be separated from one another by physical means. This is not true for a compound. Table salt is a compound consisting of equal parts of the elements sodium and chlorine. Salt cannot be separated into its two elements by filtering, distillation, or any other physical process. Salt and other compounds can only be decomposed into their elements by a chemical process. ▪ The properties of compounds are generally very different than the properties of the elements from which the compound is formed. Sodium is an extremely reactive soft metal that cannot be exposed to air or water. Chlorine is a deadly gas. The compound sodium chloride is a white solid which is essential for all living things LO.2 Outline the basic properties of materials in an engineering context P2.1 Identify the key features and mechanisms of wear and corrosion P2.2 Describe the key features of the concepts of density, reactivity and magnetism P2.3 Describe the key features of electrical and thermal conductivity of materials P2.4 Describe the key features of the concepts of hardness, ductility, plasticity, toughness and malleability LO.2 Outline the basic properties of materials in an engineering context P2.1 Identify the key features and mechanisms of wear and corrosion Material Deterioration ▪ All materials suffer deterioration under certain conditions of service or certain environments, which must be avoided to prolong their useful life to the maximum. ▪ It is important to know why certain materials tend to be stable (or unstable) in certain environments. ▪ Deterioration is related to the structure, properties and processing of different materials.. LO.2 Outline the basic properties of materials in an engineering context P2.1 Identify the key features and mechanisms of wear and corrosion Material Wear ▪ Wear is the removal of the material from the surface of a solid body as a result of mechanical action of the counterbody.. ▪ Wear may combine effects of various physical and chemical processes proceeding during the friction between two counteracting materials: micro-cutting, micro-ploughing, Plastic deformation, cracking, fracture, welding, melting, chemical interaction. ▪ The result of wear is the loss of material and the subsequent decrease in dimensions and therefore the loss of tolerances LO.2 Outline the basic properties of materials in an engineering context P2.1 Identify the key features and mechanisms of wear and corrosion Material Wear ▪ Wear is very important in engineering practice Effects of cavitation ▪ In many cases, it is the main factor that limits on an impeller the life and performance of machine components. ▪ Example: a fully worn 5-ton truck usually weighs between two and three kilograms less than when new. ▪ No machine element is immune to wear; This phenomenon manifests itself whenever there is load and movement. ▪ Example: piston wear in internal combustion engines, pitting and cracking in transmission gears, etc., are signs of wear.

Adhesive Wear ▪ Adhesive wear occurs when two nominally flat solid bodies are in sliding contact, whether or not they are lubricated. ▪ Adhesion occurs at the asperity/sharpness contacts at the interface. These contacts are sheared by relative motion, which may result in detachment of a fragment from one surface and attachment to the other. Magnified view of two friction surfaces LO.2 Outline the basic properties of materials in an engineering context P2.1 Identify the key features and mechanisms of wear and corrosion Adhesive Wear Mechanism ▪ Adhesive wear mechanism: – a) Before contact – b) During contact – c) After contact LO.2 Outline the basic properties of materials in an engineering context P2.1 Identify the key features and mechanisms of wear and corrosion Adhesive Wear ▪ If the driving force is sufficient to maintain motion: – The entangled particles deform. – If they are made of a brittle material, they can be torn off ▪ Therefore, it is can be prevented by: – Avoiding metal-to-metal contact – Increasing hardness – Increasing toughness to resist violent separation of metal particles – Increasing the surface finish to eliminate outgoing.

When particles hit the surface of brittle materials the loss takes place as brittle fracture. ▪ Loss of material on ductile materials takes place as a combination of chip formation, fatigue and shear failure. Erosion with water borne particles is called slurry erosion and is a common wear case in pumps, as well as cavitation erosion which is caused by imploding water vapor bubbles. LO.2 Outline the basic properties of materials in an engineering context P2.1 Identify the key features and mechanisms of wear and corrosion Erosive Wear ▪ Erosive wear is a phenomenon that affects a large number of machine elements hydraulic turbines, pumping as well as specific parts used in the oil industries. and petrochemical, among many other applications. ▪ With this type of wear, not only is there a loss of material and the Cavitation erosion. Low pressure forms cavities consequent failure of parts, but it is also associated with financial (bubbles) in the liquid. When the cavities implode close to a boundary, a double vortex is formed and the losses due to the time associated with repairing equipment and powerful jet between the two vortices damages the replacing worn components. material. ▪ The degree of wear is related to the angle of incidence of the particle with respect to the surface. ▪ Ductile materials appear to deform and possibly harden when struck perpendicularly, but at a critical angle of about 20°, the metal is removed by a shearing action.
