Atomic Structure and the Elements Element Groupings


 The basic structural unit of matter is the atom The elements can be grouped into families and
 Each atom is composed of a positively charged relationships established between and within
nucleus, surrounded by a sufficient number of the families by means of the Periodic Table
negatively charged electrons so the charges  Metals occupy the left and center portions of
are balanced the table
 Nonmetals are on right
 More than 100 elements, and they are the
chemical building blocks of all matter  Between them is a transition zone containing
metalloids or semi-metals

Periodic Table Bonding between Atoms and Molecules


Atoms are held together in molecules by various
types of bonds
1. Primary bonds - generally associated with
formation of molecules
2. Secondary bonds - generally associated
with attraction between molecules
 Primary bonds are much stronger than
secondary bonds

are listed for the 103 elements.

Primary Bonds Ionic Bonding


Characterized by strong atom-to-atom attractions Atoms of one element give up their outer
that involve exchange of valence electrons electron(s), which are in turn attracted to
atoms of some other element to increase

Covalent Bonding Metallic Bonding


Electrons are shared (as opposed to Sharing of outer shell electrons by all atoms
transferred) between atoms in their outermost to form a general electron cloud that
shells to achieve a stable set of eight permeates the entire block

Secondary Bonds Dipole Forces


Whereas primary bonds involve atom-to-atom Arise in a molecule comprised of two atoms
attractive forces, secondary bonds involve with equal and opposite electrical charges
attraction forces between molecules
Each molecule therefore forms a dipole that
 No transfer or sharing of electrons in attracts other molecules
secondary bonding
 Bonds are weaker than primary bonds

Attractive force between nonpolar molecules, i.e., Occurs in molecules containing hydrogen atoms
atoms in molecule do not form dipoles covalently bonded to another atom (e.g., H2O)
However, due to rapid motion of electrons in Since electrons to complete shell of hydrogen
orbit, temporary dipoles form when more atom are aligned on one side of nucleus,

Imperfections (Defects) in Crystals Crystal defects


 Imperfections often arise due to inability of Point Defects
solidifying material to continue replication of unit
cell, e.g., grain boundaries in metals
 Imperfections can also be introduced purposely;
e.g., addition of alloying ingredient in metal
 Types of defects:
1. Point defects
2. Line defects
3. Surface defects

Point Defects
Imperfections in crystal structure involving either
a single atom or a few number of atoms

Point defects: (a) vacancy, (b) ion-pair vacancy, (c) interstitialcy,


(d) displaced ion (Frenkel Defect).

Line Defects Line defect


Connected group of point defects that forms a line Edge Dislocations
in the lattice structure
 Most important line defect is a dislocation,
which can take two forms:
 Edge dislocation
 Screw dislocation

Screw Dislocations

Understanding the movement of a dislocation is key


to understanding why dislocations allow
deformation to occur at much lower stress than in a
perfect crystal

Surface Defects
Imperfections that extend in two directions to
form a boundary
 Examples:
 External: the surface of a crystalline object
is an interruption in the lattice structure
 Internal: grain boundaries are internal
surface interruptions

Elastic Strain Plastic Strain


When a crystal experiences a gradually If stress is higher than forces holding atoms in
increasing stress, it first deforms elastically their lattice positions, a permanent shape
 If force is removed lattice structure returns to change occurs
its original shape

Effect of Dislocations on Strain Slip on a Macroscopic Scale


 In the series of diagrams, the movement of the  Slip occurs many times over throughout the
dislocation allows deformation to occur under a metal when subjected to a deforming load, thus
lower stress than in a perfect lattice causing it to exhibit its macroscopic behavior in
the stress-strain relationship
 Dislocations are a good-news-bad-news
situation
 Good news in manufacturing – the metal is
easier to form
 Bad news in design – the metal is not as
strong as the designer would like

Twinning Void
 A second mechanism of plastic deformation in
which atoms on one side of a plane (the twinning
plane) are shifted to form a mirror image of the
other side

opposite side of the twinning plane: (a) before, and (b) after twinning.

Elastic/Plastic Deformation Polycrystalline Nature of Metals


 A block of metal may contain millions of
individual crystals, called grains
 Such a structure is called polycrystalline
 Each grain has its own unique lattice
orientation; but collectively, the grains are
randomly oriented in the block

Features of Noncrystalline Structures Crystalline versus Noncrystalline


 Two features differentiate noncrystalline
(amorphous) from crystalline materials:
1. Absence of long-range order in molecular
structure
2. Differences in melting and thermal
expansion characteristics

Figure 2.14 Difference in structure between: (a) crystalline and (b)


noncrystalline materials. The crystal structure is regular,
repeating, and denser; the noncrystalline structure is less tightly
packed and random.
