6)Deterioration (chemical reaction)
Classification of Metals (5 types) - 1)Composed of at least 1 metallic element
2)Atoms arranged orderly
3)Relatively Dense
4)Relatively Stiff and Strong
5)Good conductors of heat and electricity
Classification of Ceramics (4 types) - 1) Compounds between metallic and nonmetallic
elements
2) Commonly (oxides, nitrides, carbides)
3) Relatively stiff and strong
4)Very brittle (high susceptibility to fractures)
Classification of Polymers (6 types) - 1)The family of plastic and rubbers
,2)Large molecular structures
3)Can be ductile/pliable
4)Known to soften/decompose over time
5)Low electric conductivity
6)Nonmegnetic
Classification of Composites (2 types) - 1)Come from 2 or more types of material (metals,
ceramics, polymers)
2)Designed to achieve multiple properties
Semiconductors - Both an insulator and a conductor
Electrons in Atoms - Electrons only have specific values of energy, if energy levels change,
electrons must make a quantum jump
How do electrons quantum jump? (2 points) - 1)Either by absorbing energy and moving
up
2)Or by releasing energy and moving down
Quantum Numbers (4 parameters to describe e) - 1)Size
2)Shape
3)Spatial orientation
4)Probability density

Ground State - electrons occupy all the lowest energy states
Hydrogen ground state - 1s^1
Helium - 1s^2
Sodium - 1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^1
Electropositive - elements capable of giving up electrons
Electronegative - elements ready to accept electrons
Bonding Energy - Eo=energy required to separate the atoms
The Primary Bond (3 types) - 1)Ionic
2)Covalent
3)Metallic
Ionic Bonding (3 points) - 1)The transfer of electrons

Covalent bonding (3 points) - 1)the share of electrons
2)directional
3)Non-metallic elements
Metallic Bonding (3 points) - 1)Metals and alloys
2)electrons drift around through the solid
3)good at conducting heat and electricity
Secondary Bonds - Dipoles are the separation of a positive with a negative charge
Induced Dipole Bonds (4 points) - 1)weakest secondary bonds
2)spacial distribution changes forming a small induced dipole between two atoms
3)Fluctuates
4)low bonding energies and melting points
