lntroduction. General properties of solids

I definite shape and volume@ rigid and incompressible@ consist of close-packed particles@ particles may be atoms, molecules or ions

. Solids can be either crystalline or amorphous:

Grystalline solids Amorphous solidsparticles are arranged in aregular, 3-dimensionalstructure i.e., has definitecrystal lattice structure

random, non-repetitiveanangement of particles; i.e.no orderly structure

fixed melting point no fixed melting pointexamples: NaCl, Cu,diamond, silica, sugar etc.

examples: rubber, glass etc.

Tvpes of crvstalline solids

. Solids are classified based on the types of attractive forces betweenthe constituent oarticles.

Type of solid Structure type and nature offorces betweenparticles

Examples

metallic solid giant structure,- giant lattice ofclosely packedmetal atoms

metallic bond- strong electrostaticforces of attractionbetween lattice ofmetal cations and seaof delocalised electrons

Metals

(a) generally have high melting point

' great amount of energy required to break the metailic bondswhich are strong erectrostatic forces ot attiaaion between thedelocalised electrons and the fattice of melaications.

. sodium has a relatively foy m.p.(92.5 .C), but most metals,especially transition meta.ls,..have very high m.p.(m.p. ot Ci =1890 "C). Strength of metailic OonO increises ls number ofdelocalised electrons increases.

(b) generally have high density

' density(mass per unit vorume) depends on atomic mass, size ofatom and type of packing in the solid structure-. higher atomic mass ). smaller atom F higher densitv. close packing )

. sodium has a low density, transition metals have relativelyhigher densities.

(c) good conductors of etectricity and heat

. due to presence of derocarised "t""trInl

' 'av^! Lvo'+

. when.an electric potential is applied across the encts of a pieceof metal, the delocalised elections will move towarOs tnepositive end. Metals can conduct electricity inloth the solidstate and molten state-

' when heat is suppried to one end of a piece of metar, the kineticenergy of the electrons is increased. The delocalised electronstransmit the energy to other parts of the metal.

Page 4: Ajc06

(d) malleable and ductile

. metallic bonds are nondirectional, thus layers of metal atomscan slide over each other without breaking the metallic bond.

. this movement of layers due to an applied force in the metallattice, is called 'slip'

' after'slipping', the atoms setile in new positions and the crystalstructure is restored.

. thus, a metal can be hammered into different shapes(malleable)or drawn into wires(ductile)

Metals are matleable because the layers of aroms can slide ovci qchother without breaking the menllic bonds

Allovs

Sometimes it is desirable to make metals less malleable, to preventlayers of atoms from 'slipping', for example when metals are used inmachines and construction structures.Metals can be strengthened or make harder by alloying, i.e. mixingwith another metal.

Example : Brass is an alloy of Cu and Zn.It is stronger than pure Cu or pure Zn.

Alloying can be easily done since metallic bonds are non-specific ornon-directional.Metal atoms of the added metal usually have different size from themain metal atoms.These added metal atoms thus disrupt the orderly anangement ofthe lattice and the layers of atoms can no longer slide over eachother easily.

Metals and their ores are non-renewable resources, i.e., not naturallylegenerated at rates comparable to their rates of depletion.Demand for mineral resources increase all the time due to increasingworld population and increasing demand for consumer goods.Some important raw materials are in limited amounts.

Aluminium recycling

o Al is expensive to produce because a large amount of electrical energy isconsumed in the electrolysis of bauxite(Al2O3).High cost of extracting Al from its ore makes recycling worthwhile.Used soft drink cans and beer cans are collected, melted and used tomake new cans.

I This process saves Al and also about 95%o of energy.(There are Al recycling plants in Singapore)

lonic Solids

(a) Hiqh meltinq points and boilinq points

' Large amount of energy required to overcome very strong electrostaticforoes of attraction between the closely packed oppositely charged ionsand to break up the giant lattice structure. Thus, ionic solids have highmelting points and high molar heats of fusion.

. Strong ionic forces also exist in the molten liquid. Thus, ionic solids havehigh boiling points and high molar heat of vaporisation.

(b) Good conductors of electricitv when molten or when dissolved inaqueous solutions

' Due to presence of mobile ions which carry the electrical cunent under theinfluence of an electric field.

. lonic compounds in the solid state cannot conduct electricity because theions are not free to move.

(c) Hard and brittle

. In an ionic solid, each ion is held in the crystal lattice by strongelectrostatic attractions from oppositely charged ions around it. Thus, ionicsolids are hard and difficult to cut.

. lonic solids are also brittle, i.e. they shatter easily when given a firm blow.It may be split cleanly(or cleaved). This is because ionic lattiee containsalternating positive and iegative ions.

. When the crystal is tapped sharply along a particular plane, it is possibleto displace one layer of ions relative to the next. As a result of thisdisplacement, ions of similar charge are brought together. Repulsionbetween the like charges fractures the crystal.

(d) Soluble in water and other polar solvents

. Most ionic solids are soluble in water and other polar solvents such asethanol.The ionic solid dissolves as the crystal laftice is broken, forming ions insolution. The ions form ion-dipole bonds with the polar solvent molecule ina process called solvation(or hydration, if the solvent is water). Theformation of many of such bonds release sufficient energy to cause thedetachment of ions from the solid lattice. E r

solvatednegative ion

(e) Not soluble in non-polar solvents such as hexane, tetrachloromethane(CClr)gld-belzele

. Non-polar molecules have almost negligible attraction for ions.

. Molecules in non-polar liquids are held by intermolecular forces which aremuch weaker than the strong electrostatic forces between oppositelycharged ions in the ionic crystal.

. The ionic attractions are much stronger than ion-solvent and solvent-solvent attractions. The non-polar solvent molecules cannot penetrate theionic lattice, and thus ionic solids cannot dissolve in non-polar solvents.

lonic Compounds as refracto ries

. Refractories are solids with very high melting points. These solids canresist high temperature conditions without melting.

. Examples of ionic compounds which are commonly used as refractoriesare :

. MgO; melting point 2800'C. Used to line insides of fumaces.

. AlzOe; melting point 2300 'C (AlzOa is an ionic solid with covalentcharactbr). Used to make heat resistant crucibles for melting metals;and as an insulator in spark plugs of cars.

SIMPLE MOLECULAR SOLIDS

(a) low meltinq points

' The lattice forces in morecurar sorids are reak intermolecular forces.These forces are broken when ionic solids melt( the strong covalent bondswithin each molecule is not broken!). Since these forces are weak, only asmall amount of energy is required and the melting point is usuallylow(usually below 200 .C)

(b) Non-conductors of electricitv

. This is because of the absence of charge caniers such as delocalisedelectrons or mobile ions.

(c) Tvpicallv soft

. This is because the molecules can be easily moved around due to theweak forces between them.

Examples of simple molecular solids

The extensive, tetrahedral anangement of H2O molecules is a rigid butrather open structure( the molecules are not closely packed).When ice melts, the tetrahedral anangement is parfly broken up as themolecules move around. Thus the molecules becom-e closer. T'his explainswhy the density of water is greater than ice, and ice floats on water.The lower density of ice c,ompared to its liquid state is unusual for solids.M-ost solids are have greater density than their liquid states. This propertyof water is important for the survival of marine biological life in winter'as -ice forms only from the top.

The meftino ooint and boilinq point of water is low as onty weakinte.rmolecular forces(hydrogen bonds) are broken during melting andboiling.The melting point and boiling point of water are higher than most othermolecular solids with similar molecular size. This ii because hydrogenbonds in water are stronger than pd-pd attractions or id-id aftractions inother molecular solids.

Giant molecular / macromolecular /covalent solids

This type of solids consists of lattice of atoms held by very extensive andstrong covalent bonds.The structure is extremely strong and a lot of energy is required to breakit down.Properties include : hard, rigid, insoluble in both polar and non-polarsolvents, ver high m.p. and b.p.With the exception of graphite, giant molecular solids are electricalinsulators due to absence of delocalised electrons nor mobile ions.Examples include: diamond, graphite, silicon dioxide(SiOz), siliconcarbide(SiC)

Silicon dioxide. SiOe

Also called silica. Most common form of silica is quarE. Sand is an impureform of quarE (brown colour of sand is due to impurities of iron(lll)compounds).The structure of SiOz is similar to diamond. In SiOz, each Si is covalenflvbonded to four O atoms, and each O atom is bonded to two Si atoms.Thus, each Si is in the centre of a tetrahedron of O atoms, as shownbelow. This structural anangement ertends throughout a very largenetwork.SiOz has a very high melting point(1700 C); it is very hard and is a non-conductor of electricity.(These properties can be explained by its struciureand bonding)

Graphite

. Graphite is sometimes classified as a layer lattice structured solid.

. Although both diamond and graphite consist of identical carbon atomsonly, there are differences in their properties. These differences are due todifferences in their structure.

. In graphite, the carbon atoms are ananged in layers of interconnectedhexagonal rings. Within the layers, the carbon atoms are held by strongcovalent bonds. Weak intermolecular van der Waals' forces hold the laverstogether.

. Each carbon atom in the layer uses 3 of its valence electron to form 3strong covalent bonds with 3 other carbon atoms. Thus each carbon is inthe centre of a trigonal planar structure, and this structure extends in a twodimensional array to form the hexagonal rings.

' The fourth valence electron of each carbon atom is delocalised throughoutthe layer. Thus all the delocalised electron from each carbon forms thedelocalised n bonds that extend over the layers.(Each C atom in graphite is spz hybridised)

. The C-C bond length of 0.142nm within the layer is shorter than the C-Cbond length in diamond. This suggests that the C-C bonds within the layer lare stronger than that in diamond. (The C-C bond length in graphite isshorterthan a single C-C bond but longerthan double bond)

Other uses of Ceramics

Ceramics have a wide range of applications, which includes pottery, bricks,tiles, cooking ware, glass, refractories, magnets, electrical devices-andabrasives.

1. Ceramics automobile and aerospace engines using a ceramic (siliconnitride) gas turbine similar to a jet aircraft's propulsion system. iheseengines are lighter than those made of metal and can be operated attemperatures of about 1370 c, temperatures at which a metal would melt.Fuel efficiency of these engines operating at such high temperatureswo-uld increase and polluting exhaust emissions reduced. ieramic engineswill usually last five times as long as those of metals.

2. Ceramic biological implants, such as skull caps, elbow and hip joints, kneeand tooth implants. Ceramics are suitable materials for these usesbecause they are strong, resistant to chemical attacks, and withoutproblems related to tissue rejection.

3. Electrical insulators for spark plugs in high compression engines in carsand airplanes. Good insulation is essential between electrodes to maintaina high potential difference. AlzOa and MgO, both ionic oxides with veryhigh melting points are used.

4. Refractory materials for lining fumaces. Clay, Silica, Al2O3 and MgO oftenused. They are able to withstand high temperatures of molten metals.slags sand hot gases and as well as resistant to corrosion.

5. Silicon nitride ball bearings are hard and strong, wear-resistant, able towithstand temperatures up to 1300 C and require no lubrication.
