This lecture explores the properties of materials, including chemical bonding, states of matter, changes of state, strength, magnetic properties, and electrical properties. It delves into the different types of bonding, such as ionic, metallic, and covalent bonding, and discusses the importance of properties in defining a society's technical sophistication. Additionally, it covers the magnetic and electrical properties of materials, including conductors, insulators, and semiconductors.

Great Ideas in Science:Lecture 6 – Properties of Materials Professor Robert Hazen UNIV 301 KEY IDEA: Properties of materials depend on their atoms, and how those atoms are linked together
Tonight’s Outline • Review Chemical Bonding • Chemical Reactions • Properties of Materials • States of matter • Changes of state • Strength of materials • Magnetic properties • Electrical properties
Chemical Bonding Key Idea: Atoms link together by the rearrangement of their electrons 1. “Magic” numbers of electrons (i.e. 2, 10, 18 and 36) form very stable atoms. 2. Electrons may be transferred or shared to form stable bond 3. Ionic, metallic and covalent bonds
Ionic Bonding Ionic Bonding Na Cl
Ionic Bonding Mg + 2Cl MgCl2 Mg + 2Cl
Covalent Bonding Hydrogen
Covalent Bonding WATER
1 C 4 2 3 (R)-enantiomer Covalent Bonding: Carbon CARBON BONDING Organic Chemistry
1 C 4 2 3 (R)-enantiomer Covalent Bonding: Carbon CARBON BONDING Organic Chemistry
SOLIDS(fixed volume and shape) Crystal – regular atomic arrangement
SOLIDS(fixed volume and shape) Glass: Atoms not periodic
Solids: Plastics Plastics: Formed from chains of molecules
LIQUIDS (fixed volume, variable shape) Liquid Crystals: Molecules line up under an electric field
PLASMA (Gas with free electrons) By far the most abundant state of matter in the universe!!!
Changes of State HYDROCARBONS
Distillation (Fractionation) Column Gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, asphalt & tar are distilled from crude oil.
Chemical Reactions: Oxidation & Reduction Rusting = Oxidation Smelting = Reduction
Chemical Reactions: Polymerizaton & Depolymerization Addition Polymerization
Chemical Reactions: Polymerizaton & Depolymerization Condensation Polymerization
Materials and the Modern World • Materials define a society’s technical sophistication • Chemists’ contributions • Properties of Materials • The kind of atoms of which it is made • Arrangement of atoms • Type of bonding of atoms
Different Kinds of Strength • Strength • Compressive • Tensile • Shear • Elastic Limit • Strength depends on the types and arrangements of bonds
Compressive Strength:(Strength against squeezing) • Stack of paper • Masonry • Wood
Tensile Strength:(Strength against pulling) • Wire • Rope • Chains
Shear Strength:(Strength against twisting) • Girder network • Diamond
Composite Materials • Combination of materials increases strength • Reinforced concrete • Plywood • Fiberglass
Magnetic Properties of Materials • Magnetic field • Due to electrical current • Electrons spinning • Arrangement of atomic magnets • Degree of alignment determines the strength of magnetism
Key Idea Modern electronics control the flow of electrons • Metals are conductors of electricity, while ionic and covalently-bonded materials are electrical insulators • Semiconductors conduct electricity under carefully controlled conditions Key Words p-type and n-type diode integrated circuit microchip
Conductors & Insulators • Electrical conductors allow electrons to flow freely. • Electrical resistors drain some energy from an electrical current. • Electrical insulators prevent the flow of electricity.
Semiconductors • Semiconductors: neither good conductors nor insulators • Example: Silicon
n-type Semiconductors Dope with phosphorus One extra electron for each P
p-type Semiconductors Dope with aluminum A missing electron = hole
p-type Semiconductors Dope with aluminum A missing electron = hole
