Bonding
26

Ionic bonding is a result of coulombic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

F = Fc+FR (Fc is positive and FR is negative)

Covalent bonding shares valence electrons between two adjacent atoms.

Chemical imperfection(solid solution): Hume-Rothery rule
41

For complete miscibility to occur in metallic solid solution, the two metals must be quite similar,
defined by Hume-Rothery rule.
i) less than about 15% difference in atomic radii: (Rlarge-Rsmall)/Rsmall
ii) the same crystal structure (e.g. FCC, BCC, HCP etc)
iii) similar electronegativities
iv) the same valence (e.g. +1, +2, -1, -2)

If one or more of the Hume-Rothery rule are violated, only partial solubility is possible.
