INTRODUCTION
Bonding:
• What promotes bonding?
• What types of bond are there?
• What properties are inferred from bonding?
KKKR 1233 ATOMIC STRUCTURE & ATOMIC BONDING IN SOLIDS
ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE

Electrons have wavelike and particulate properties.


This means that electrons are in orbitals defined by a
probability.
Each orbital at discrete energy level is determined by
quantum numbers.

Quantum # Designation
n = principal (energy level-shell) K, L, M, N, O (1, 2, 3, etc.)
l = subsidiary (orbitals) s, p, d, f (0, 1, 2, 3,…, n-1)
ml = magnetic 1, 3, 5, 7 (-l to +l)
ms = spin ½, -½

SURVEY OF ELEMENTS

Most elements: Electron configuration not stable.


• Why? Valence (outer) shell usually not filled completely.
KKKR 1233 ATOMIC STRUCTURE & ATOMIC BONDING IN SOLIDS
SURVEY OF ELEMENTS
• Valence electrons – those in unfilled shells
• Filled shells more stable
• Valence electrons are most available for bonding and tend to control the
chemical properties

PROCEDURE

1. Identify the points at which the plane intercepts the x,y and z
coordinates in terms of the number of lattice parameters. If the plane
passes through the origin, the origin of the coordinates system must be
moved!
2. Take reciprocal of these intercepts
3. Clear fractions but do not reduce to the lower integers

EXCERCISE
KKKR 1233 THE STRUCTURE OF CRYSTALINE SOLIDS
SUMMARY

• Atoms may assemble into crystalline or


amorphous structures.
• Common metallic crystal structures are FCC, BCC, and
HCP. Coordination number and atomic packing factor
are the same for both FCC and HCP crystal structures.
• We can predict the density of a material, provided we
know the atomic weight, atomic radius, and crystal
geometry (e.g., FCC, BCC, HCP).
• Crystallographic points, directions and planes are
specified in terms of indexing schemes.
Crystallographic directions and planes are related
to atomic linear densities and planar densities.
KKKR 1233 THE STRUCTURE OF CRYSTALINE SOLIDS
SUMMARY

• Materials can be single crystals or polycrystalline.


Material properties generally vary with single crystal
orientation (i.e., they are anisotropic), but are generally
non-directional (i.e., they are isotropic) in polycrystals
with randomly oriented grains.
• Some materials can have more than one crystal
structure. This is referred to as polymorphism (or
allotropy).
• X-ray diffraction is used for crystal structure and
interplanar spacing determinations.
