Introduction
Material Science : Study of the structure & properties
of materials
Investigation of structure- properties relationship.
Properties of materials is depend on structure
Structure: Arrangement of internal component of
matter in materials
Property : Response of the materials when exposed to
an external stimulus
J.J. Thomson
In1889, discovered the electron.
Soon after the discovery of the electron, Thomson began
speculating on the nature of the atom & suggested a
"plum pudding" model.
Negatively charged electrons which were floating around
in a "pudding" of positive charge to match that of the
electrons and make an electrically neutral atom
Non-crystalline SiO2
Each cell has eight corners & eight cell meets at the corner
Coordination Number
Six neighbors at a equal distance
Coordination No = 6
Atomic Radius
Half the distance between the centre of the two
neighboring atom
Void Space
Vacant space left unutilized in a unit cell
1-0.52=48%
Coordination Number
Six neighbors at a equal distance
Coordination No = 8
Atomic Radius
Half the distance between the centre of the two neighboring
atom
(4r)2=a2+2a2
Void Space
Vacant space left unutilized in a unit cell
1-.68=32%
Coordination Number
Six neighbors at a equal distance
Coordination No = 12
Atomic Radius
Half the distance between the centre of the two neighboring atom

Atomic Packing factor
Ratio of the volume of the atom per Unit Cell to the
volume of
the unit cell.
APF = 74%
Void Space
Vacant space left unutilized in a unit cell
1-.74=26%
