Wave-Mechanical Model [Schrodinger's Model] - ANSWER Modern model of the atom, atoms have electrons in "orbitals" that are like clouds around the

nucleus

Quantum Numbers - ANSWER A set of four numbers that specify the properties of atomic orbitals and the properties of electrons in orbitals

Principal Quantum Number (s) - ANSWER symbolized by n, indicates the main energy level/shell occupied by the electron. N is the row in the periodic table

Secondary Quantum Number - ANSWER symbol = l; tells which sublevel the electron is on and determines the shape of the orbital; sublevels are repetitively numbered and also lettered

Valence Electrons - ANSWER The electrons in the outermost shell, which participate in the bonding between atoms.

Pauli Exclusion Principle - ANSWER An atomic orbital may describe at most two electrons, each with opposite spin direction

Bonding Energy - ANSWER The energy required to separate two atoms that are chemically bonded to each other to an infinite distance

What does a column group represent in a periodic table? - ANSWER Similar valence electron configurations/structure and chemical/physical properties

Electropositive Elements - ANSWER The elements have a tendency to release valence electrons (metals) and have a low electronegativity

Electronegative Elements - ANSWER The elements having a tendency to accept valence electrons (non-metals) and have a high electronegativity. [MC]

What is the general trend on the periodic table for increasing the

repeating or periodic array over large atomic distances

Unit Cell - ANSWER a basic structural unit of a crystal structure, defined in terms of geometry and atom positions within a parallelepiped volume.

12 Coordination Number

APF is 0.74 or 74%

For BCC, the relation between the atomic radius and unit cell length - ANSWER a=4R/sqrt(3)

For FCC, the relation between the atomic radius and unit cell length - ANSWER a = 2Rsqrt(2)

Polymorphism - ANSWER The phenomenon of a solid material to exist in more than one form of crystal structure.

Allotropy - ANSWER Polymorphism but in Elements.

Linear Density Formula - ANSWER Number of Atoms in a Direction Vector/Length of Direction Vector

Planar Density Formula - ANSWER Number of Atoms centered on a Plane / Area of Plane

HCP Closest Packed Plane and Stacking Pattern - ANSWER (0001) and ABABAB...

FCC Closest Packed Plane and Stacking Pattern - ANSWER (111) and ABCABCABC...

single crystal - ANSWER A crystalline solid for which the periodic and repeated atomic pattern extends throughout its entirety without interruption.

Polycrystalline - ANSWER Crystalline materials composed of more than one crystal or grain.

Anisotropy - ANSWER Exhibiting different values of a property in different crystallographic directions. (Greater Electrical Conductivity in a Certain Plane)

Isotropy - ANSWER having the same properties in all directions

Bragg's Law - ANSWER n λ =2dsin θ --> fundamental equation of diffraction.

are possible.

alloy - ANSWER A mixture of two or more metals

Two types of Solid Solution - ANSWER Substitutional and Interstitial

Factors affecting the Solubility of Substitutional Solid Solutions - ANSWER 1. Atomic Size

  1. Crystal Structure
  2. Electronegativity Factor
  3. Valence

Weight Percentage - ANSWER C1 = m1/(m1+m2)

Atom Percentage - ANSWER C1' = (n_m1)/(n_m1+n_m2)

What is a dislocation? - ANSWER a linear or one-dimensional defect around which some of the atoms are misaligned.

Burgers vector - ANSWER A vector that denotes the magnitude and direction of lattice distortion associated with a dislocation.

edge dislocation - ANSWER A linear crystalline defect associated with the lattice distortion produced in the vicinity of the end of an extra half-plane of atoms within a crystal. The Burgers vector is perpendicular to the dislocation line.

screw dislocation - ANSWER A linear crystalline defect associated with the lattice distortion created when normally parallel planes are joined together to form a helical ramp. The Burgers vector is parallel to the dislocation line.

External Surface - Interfacial Defect - ANSWER Surface Atoms aren't bonded to the maximum number of atoms and thus can be broken off easier.

Grain Boundaries - Interfacial Defect - ANSWER The angle difference between grain boundaries can affect the hardness of the material. Higher angles between the alignment of boundaries can create harder to move grains.

Phase boundaries - Interfacial Defect - ANSWER Different phases can have different properties in a multi phase material

Twin Boundaries - ANSWER a special type of grain boundary across which there is a specific mirror lattice symmetry

interstitial diffusion - ANSWER A diffusion mechanism by which atomic motion is from interstitial site to interstitial site.

diffusion flux - ANSWER The quantity of mass diffusing through and perpendicular to a unit cross-sectional area of material per unit time.

Equilibrium - ANSWER State of a system corresponding to the minimum free energy, where the phase characteristics can remain constant over an indefinite time period.

Free Energy - ANSWER A thermodynamic quantity that is a function of both the internal energy and entropy (or randomness) of a system. At equilibrium, the free energy is at a minimum.

Meta State - ANSWER Non equilibrium state that may persist for a long time.
