Material Structure Flashcards
Performance of all dental materials depends on their ____\_ ____.
performance of all dental materials is based on their ATOMIC STRUCTURE.
The amount of energy necessary to tranform a liquid to a vapor is called the _____________.
LATENT HEAT OF VAPORIZATION
The _________ determines the state of a given substance.
KINETIC ENERGY.
if liquid has increase in kinetic energy it becomes a GAS.
if liquid has a decrease in kinetic energy it becomes a SOLID.
the energy released when a liquid becomes a solid is called the ________________.
Latent heat of fusion.
a liquid may vaporize under at any temperature between its freezing and boiling point as long as the air above it________________________.
As long as the air above it isn’t already saturated with vapor.
when a solid goes directly to its gas phase this process is called
SUBLIMATION
interatomic bonds can be classified as ____ or _____.
Primary or secondary.
Primary bonds are stronger than secondary bonds and can be of 3 different types:
1
2
3
1 Ionic
2 Covalent
3 Metallic
What is the difference between
ionic
covalent
metallic
ionic- electrons are TRANSFERRED between elements
Covalent- electrons are SHARED in precise orientations
Metallic- Electron sharing and formation of CLOUD of electrons that bonds elements together in lattice
Ionic bonds tend to be ______ and results in _____ structures
ionic bonds tend to be WEAKER and exist as CRYSTAL structures.
Covalent bonds share valence electrons.
A typical characteristic of covalent bonds is their_______ orientation.
Covalent bonds often have DIRECTIONAL ORIENTATION
Due to their unique metallic bond structure metals have excellent ______________ and have the ability to ___________
Due to their unique metallic bond structure metals have excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and have the ability to DEFORM PLASTICALLY
Secondary bonds are different than Primary bonds in that they DO NOT __________
Secondary bonds DO NOT SHARE ELECTRONS
Hydrogen bonding creates Asymmetrical/Symmetrical molecules that have a _____________.
Hydrogen bonding creates ASYMMERTRICAL molecules that have PERMANENT DIPOLES (molecule has directionality of charge)
What are Van der Walls forces?
Vander der walls forces result from temporary attraction of molecules due to attracting opposite polarities.
Recognize that there comes a point where if you decrease the distance between atoms they REPEL and can never be brought together.
As the distance increases the atoms will be ATTRACTED to one another but as the distance increases the force of attraction decreases.
Understand that there is a equilibrium position, if you try to decrease the distance when at equilibrium you get repulsion, if you increase the distance between them you get attraction.
When equilibrium position is reached the distance is a.
if the atom is moved either a repulsive or attractive force will result.
energy can be plotted as a function of displacement from equilibrium activity. This graph just shows that as you increase or decrease distance when two atoms are at equilibrium force results.
The energy curve is determined by the magnitude of attractive and repulsive forces.
The shallower the curve the less energy it takes to seperate the atoms, the deeper the curve the more energy it takes to seperate the atoms.
The deeper the curve the more energy required to reachmelting and boiling temperatures
what is the most common crystal lattice type of metals used in dentistry?
many of the metals used in dentistry belong to the cubic system.
atoms form parallel planes called CRYSTAL PLANES
