Mechanical Behaviour of Materials Volume 1: Micro- and Macroscopic C

Advances in technology are demanding ever-increasing mastery over the materials being used: the challenge is to gain a better understanding of their behaviour, and more particularly of the relations between their microstructure and their macroscopic prope

REPORT


Annex 1 gives background notions dealing with atomic and molecular structures in an abbreviated way, for the convenience of the user of the book. On the other hand, it is also easy to gather useful information on the web.

A1.1 Types of Bonds The main types of chemical bonds are listed in Table A1.1. Table A1.1 Types of bonds Type of bonds Covalent Metallic Ionic Van der Walls Hydrogen bond

Mechanism Shared electrons Free electrons cloud Electrostatic attraction Molecular attraction Dipoles attraction

Order of magnitude (kJ/mole) 102 102 102 101 1

Adding a repulsive term to the attractive one gives the usual expression for the energy: B A U D m n (A1.1) r r (A, B positive; B is Born’s constant1 ) where r is the distance between the atoms m is of the order of 10 n D 1 for ionic bonds, D 6 for van der Waals bonds For an ionic crystal the attractive force is qq0 /r2 , where q, q0 are the charges on the ions. 1

Max Born (1882–1970), Nobel Prize winner, was a German physicist.
