“Because without materials, there is no engineering”
Investigating the relationships
between the structures and
properties of materials.

Materials Selection
➢ It is essential that an engineer has a good knowledge of the
fundamental principles that control the properties of materials.
➢ All engineers are concerned with materials and one has to select, the
most suitable material for the job in hand.
➢ Many factors are to be considered in making the selection:
1. The necessary mechanical, chemical, electrical and thermal properties.
2. The durability of the material, effect of time on the properties.
3. The availability of the material in the desired shape.
4. The cost
5. The marketing

Composites
A composite is composed of two (or more) individual materials, to
achieve a combination of properties that is not displayed by any single
material.

Atomic Structure
➢ Each atom consists of a very
small nucleus composed of
protons and neutrons, which is
encircled by moving electrons.
➢ Both electrons and protons are
electrically charged, the charge
magnitude being 1.6x10-19 C,
which is negative in sign for
electrons and positive for
protons; neutrons are
electrically neutral.

Electrons in Atoms
➢ The valence electrons are those that occupy the
outermost shell.
➢ These electrons are extremely important; as will be
seen, they participate in the bonding between atoms to
form atomic and molecular aggregates.
➢ Furthermore, many of the physical and chemical
properties of solids are based on these valence
electrons.

16. Formation of Ions from Metals &Nonmetal
⚫ Ionic compounds result when metals react with nonmetals
⚫ Metals lose electrons to match the number of valence electrons of
their nearest noble gas
⚫ Positive ions form when the number of electrons are less than the
number of protons
Group 1 metals ⎯→ ion 1+
Group 2 metals ⎯→ ion 2+
• Group 13 metals ⎯→ ion 3+
◼ In ionic compounds, nonmetals in 5, 6, and 7 gain electrons from
metals
◼ Nonmetal add electrons to achieve the octet arrangement
◼ Nonmetal ionic charge: 3-, 2-, or 1-

18. 1). Ionic bond – electron from Na is transferred to Cl, this causes a
charge imbalance in each atom. The Na becomes (Na+) and the Cl
becomes (Cl-), charged particles or ions.
Ionic Bond

20. Properties of Ionic Compounds
• Crystalline structure.
• A regular repeating arrangement of ions in the solid.
• Ions are strongly bonded.
• Structure is rigid & Brittle.
• High melting points- because of strong forces
between ions.
• Insulators

• Strong Repulsion breaks a crystal apart, due to
similar ions being next to each other.

24. Do they Conduct?
• Conducting electricity is allowing charges to move.
• In a solid, the ions are locked in place.
• Ionic solids are insulators.
• When melted, the ions can move around.
• Melted ionic compounds conduct.
• First get them to 800ºC.
• Dissolved in water they conduct.

➢ This bond is formed by sharing of electrons between
nonmetallic elements of similar electronegativity.
➢ Two atoms that are covalently bonded will each contribute at
least one electron to the bond, and the shared electrons may
be considered to belong to both atoms.
➢ Covalent bonds may be very strong, as in diamond, which is
very hard and has a very high melting temperature > 3550°C,
or they may be very weak, as with bismuth, which melts at
about 270°C, Stable non-ionizing particles, they are not
conductors at any state
➢ Examples; O2, CO2, C2H6, H2O, SiC

electrons.

28. Polar Bonds
• When the atoms in a bond are the same, the electrons are
shared equally.
• This is a nonpolar covalent bond.
• When two different atoms are connected, the atoms may not be
shared equally.
• This is a polar covalent bond.
29. Polar Bonds
•A measure of how strongly the atoms attract electrons in a bond.
•The bigger the electronegativity difference the more polar the bond.
•0.0 - 0.3 Covalent nonpolar
•0.3 - 1.67 Covalent polar
•>1.67 Ionic

Metallic Bonding
➢ It is found in metals and their alloys.
➢ The valence electrons which are not bound to any particular
atom in the solid forming an “electron cloud.”
➢ . Examples; Na, Fe, Al, Au, Co
Good conductors, high ductility, and low melting points

Secondary bonding or Van Der Waals bonding
Secondary, van der Waals, or physical bonds are weak in
comparison to the primary or chemical ones. Secondary bonding
exists between virtually all atoms or molecules, but its presence
may be obscured if any of the three primary bonding types is
present. Secondary bonding is evidenced for the inert gases, which
have stable electron structures, and, in addition, between molecules
in molecular structures that are covalently bonded.
