• Atom is unit of matter; the smallest unit of a
chemical element.
• Each atom consists of a nucleus, which has a
positive charge, and a set of electrons that move
ELEMENT
 Is a combination of 2 or more same atoms which
  form a bond.
 Atoms in elements all have the same number of
  protons - i.e. the same atomic number.
 Example of element; Cl2
MIXTURE
 Combination of two or more different substances
  which are mixed together but are not combined
  chemically.
 Example of mixture; salt water, concrete.




    “Putting Together And Breaking Apart”
COMPOUND
 Is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or
  more different chemical elements that can be
  separated into simpler substances by chemical
  reactions.
 Example of compound; Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
ATOMIC NUMBER
 Is the number of protons found in the nucleus of
 an atom and therefore identical to the charge
 number of the nucleus.
ATOMIC MASS
 Is the total number of protons and neutrons in the
 nucleus of an atom.
   Atomic Mass = No. of proton + No. of
                neutron
ATOMIC ORBITS
• Electrons if filled to atomic orbits by using formula
2n2 as below.
• The highest no. of electron on the outer shell/orbits
is 8.
                                  No. of
              No. of orbit (n)

        First orbit (n=1)           2
        Second orbit (n=2)          8
        Third orbit (n=3)          18
        Fourth orbit (n=4)         32
 Example : Determine the electrons configuration and
 number of orbital for below elements.
 i) Oxygen (Atom no. = 8)
 ii) Magnesium (Atom no. = 12)
 iii)Chlorine (Atom no. = 19)
 iv) Arsenic (Atom no. = 33)

 Answer :
 i) Electrons configuration = 2:6 , No. of orbital = 2
 ii) Electrons configuration = 2:8:2 , No. of orbital = 3
 iii) Electrons configuration = 2:8:8:1 , No. of orbital = 4
 iv) Electrons configuration = 2:8:18:5 , No. of orbital =

ELEMENT PERIODICAL TABLE
CHARACTERISTICS OF EPT
    Have 18 lines in vertical and 7 lines in horizontal.
    Elements in the periodic table are arranged in
        periods (rows) and groups (columns) base on
        atomic number.


Group




                         Period
• Groups
  - Elements in same group having the same
  electron configuration in their outer shell. E.g ;
  element in group 1 has 1 electron in outer shell,
  element in group 2 has 2 electron in outer shell.
  - Elements in groups sharing similar chemical
  properties.
• Period
  - Elements in same period having the same no. of
  orbit.
  - Each of the seven periods is filled sequentially
  by atomic number
• When valance electron increase, metal properties
  of element decrease.
FUNCTION OF EPT
 To ease the classification of elements.
 Able to provide information especially for
  properties of the elements due to elements are
  arrange in respective group.
 Easier to analyze and understand reaction
  between elements.
CRYSTALLIZE STRUCTURE
 The atoms arrange themselves into various
  orderly configuration, called crystal.
 Crystal structure is a unique arrangement of
  atoms or molecules in a crystalline liquid or solid.
 Patterns are located upon the points of a lattice,
  which is an array of points repeating periodically
  in three dimensions.
 The points can be thought of as forming identical
  tiny boxes, called unit cells, that fill the space of
  the lattice
 There are 4 types of crystal structure:




                          Types of
                         crystallize
                          structure

                                 cubic (FCC)
               cubic (BCC)                         (HCP)
SIMPLE CUBE




• Is a cube (all sides of the same length and all face
perpendicular to each other) with an atom at each
corner of the unit cell.
• Contains only one atom per unit cell.
BODY CENTERED CUBIC
             (BCC)




• Is a cube (all sides of the same length and all face
perpendicular to each other) with an atom at each
corner of the unit cell and an atom in the center of
the unit cell.
• Contains two atoms per unit cell.
FACE CENTERED CUBIC (FCC)




• Is a cube (all sides of the same length and all face
perpendicular to each other) with an atom at each
corner of the unit cell and an atom situated in the
middle of each face of the unit cell.
• Contains four atoms per unit cell.
HEXAGANOL CLOSED
          PACKED (HCP)




• is a unit cell with an atomic packing arrangement
in which 12 atoms surround a central identical atom.
• Contains six atoms per unit cell.
COVALENT BOND
 Bond occur between non-metals.
 Covalent chemical bonds involve the sharing of a
  pair of valence electrons by two atoms.
 Example ; Cl2




 !!! Remember : Covalent = sharing atoms
Chapter 1   material structure and binary alloy system
IONIC BONDING
 Bonds occur between metals and non-metals.
 The metal gives its outer electrons to the non-
  metal - electrons are transferred in this type of
  bonding.
 The metal has lost electrons, and is now a
  positive ion or cation.
 The non-metal has gained electrons, and is
  now a negative ion or anion.
 Both the metal and non-metal now have full
  outer shells of electrons.
• Example ; NaCl




!!! Remember : Ionic = gain/loose atoms
Chapter 1   material structure and binary alloy system
METALLIC BONDING
 The bonding in metal elements is called metallic
  bonding.
 In metals, the metal atoms lose their outer
  electrons to form metal cations. The electrons
  from all the metal atoms form a "sea" of electrons
  that can flow around these metal cations. These
  electrons are "not fixed in one place" or "free to
  move".
 Metal cations and the electrons are oppositely
 charged. They will be attracted to each other, and
 also to other metal cations. These electrostatic
 forces are called metallic bonds, and these are
 what hold the particles together in metals.

SOLID SOLUTION
 Terms in solid solution
  > Solute : is the element that is added to the
  solvent. Eg. Sugar.
  > Solvent : a liquid substance capable of
  dissolving other substances. Eg. Water.
 Solid solution : when solute is added to the
  solvent, the crystal structure of the solvent
  remains unchanged and the mixture remains in a
  single homogeneous phase.
 2 types of solid solution :
  i) Substitution solid solution
  ii) interstitial solid solution

  material.

 Equilibrium phase : are graphical representations of what
  phases are present under equilibrium conditions at various
  temperature, pressure and composition.

  purposely or not, to another material. With this it can cause
  changes in phases, the properties and the shape of the

  • 41. TERMINOLOGIES IN PHASE DIAGRAM  Phase : is a physical distinct and homogenous portion in a material.  Equilibrium phase : are graphical representations of what phases are present under equilibrium conditions at various temperature, pressure and composition.  Composition : Are percentage of certain materials added purposely or not, to another material. With this it can cause changes in phases, the properties and the shape of the microstructures.  Liquidus : The minimum temperature at which all components of a mixture (such as an alloy) can be in a
