Ionic Bonding:
Ground-state wave functions ψ1(r) and ψ2(r) for two atoms making a covalent bond. (a) The atoms
are far apart, and their wave functions overlap minimally. (b) The atoms are close together, forming a
composite wave function ψ1(r) + ψ2(r) for the system.
Van der Waals Bonding: Because of the dipole electric fields, two molecules can interact such that there is an
attractive force between them.
Dipole– dipole force: An interaction between two molecules each having a permanent electric dipole moment.
Dipole–induced dipole force: A polar molecule having a permanent electric dipole moment induces a dipole
moment in a nonpolar molecule.
Dispersion force: An attractive force that occurs between two nonpolar molecules.

• The first function corresponds to the number of available states for a given value of J. This function is
2J + 1, corresponding to the number of values of 𝑚𝐽 , the molecular rotation analog to 𝑚𝑙 , for atomic
states.
• For example, the J = 2 state has five substates with 𝑚𝐽 = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, whereas the J = 1 state has only
three substates 𝑚𝐽 = -1, 0, 1.
• Therefore, on average and without regard for the second function described below, five-thirds as many
molecules make the transition from the J = 2 state as from the J = 1 state.

Covalent Solids:
• Solid carbon, in the form of diamond, is a crystal whose atoms are covalently bonded.
• In the diamond structure, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms located at four
corners of a cube
The carbon atoms form flat layers with hexagonal arrays of atoms. A very weak interaction between
the layers allows the layers to be removed easily under friction,
Carbon atoms can also form a large hollow structure; in this case, the
compound is called buckminsterfullerene

• The wave functions of two atoms combine to form a composite wave function for the two-atom system
when the atoms are close together.
• Thus, each energy level of an atom splits into two close energy levels when the wave functions of the two
atoms overlap.
• For an atom that has a single s electron outside of a closed shell, both of the following wave functions are valid for
such an atom with atomic number Z:
An energy level in which the orbital angular momentum is , can hold 2(2l + 1) electrons.
Therefore, the 1s and 2s bands each contain 2N electrons (l = 0), and the 2p band contains 6N electrons (l = 1).

The Transistor-MOSFET
(a) The structure of a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). (b) A source–drain voltage is applied. (c) A
gate voltage is applied.
32
A small variation in gate voltage results in a large variation in current and a correspondingly large voltage
across the resistor. Therefore, the MOSFET acts as a voltage amplifier.
A circuit consisting of a chain of such transistors can result in a very small initial signal from a
microphone being amplified enough to drive powerful speakers

In simplest terms, an integrated circuit is a collection of
interconnected transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors
fabricated on a single piece of silicon known as a chip

Superconductivity-Properties and Applications
Superconductors are the materials whose electrical resistance (R) decreases to zero below a certain
temperature TC called the critical temperature. (TC = 4.2 K for Hg).
Meissner effect : Exclusion of magnetic flux from the
interior of superconductors when their temperature is
decreased below the critical temperature.
• A superconductor expels magnetic fields by forming surface
currents.
• Surface currents induced on the superconductor’s surface
produce a magnetic field that exactly cancels the externally
applied field inside the superconductor.
BCS Theory:
• Cooper pair - behaves like a particle with integral spin (Bosons)
• Bosons do not obey Pauli’s exclusion principle – hence they can be in same quantum state at low temperature
• Collision with lattice atoms is origin of resistance. But Cooper pair can’t give up energy as they are in ground
state.
• Cooper pair can’t gain energy – due to energy gap
• Hence no interaction and no resistance
Applications:
• To produce high field
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Magnetic levitation
• Lossless power transmission
