Explore the fascinating world of solid materials in materials science, focusing on the structural and bonding characteristics of substances in the solid phase. We delve into four key types of solid structures: Ionic Crystals, Metallic Crystals, Molecular Crystals, and Covalent Network Crystals, each with unique properties. Learn how ionic compounds form from metal and non-metal reactions, the behavior of metallic bonds, the role of intermolecular forces in molecular crystals, and the intricate networks of covalent bonds. Discover the future of materials science with advancements like 3D printing and semiconductors.

Structure & Properties of Solids Understanding the structural and bonding characteristics of substances in the solid phase – “materials science”
Composite Materials A material composed of two or more distinct materials that remain separate from each other in the solid phase
Four types of solid structures we will explore: • Ionic Crystals • Metallic Crystals • Molecular Crystals • Covalent Network Crystals
Ionic Crystals • Form when metal reacts with non-metal • Composed of oppositely charged ions; electrostatically attracted to each other
Metallic Crystals • Metal atoms only • Bound by a “sea of electrons”; creating overall region of negative charge explains metallic properties
Molecular Crystals • Composed of individual molecules held together by intermolecular forces • Properties vary depending on intermolecular forces present
Covalent Network Crystals • Atoms form covalent bonds in an inter-woven network • Properties: • Hardness • Non-conductor • High melting point
When heated beyond it’s MP, then cooled quickly, SiO2 changes from a) “sand” to b) “glass” SiO2 glass can be strengthened by adding B2O3, used in lab and kitchen glassware (Pyrex)
Semiconductors Type of covalent network solid (containing Si or Ge atoms) A substance that conducts a slight electric current at room temperature A slight increase in temperature causes a significant increase in conductivity www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3GdpbKTPQQ
