The atoms do not share or exchange electrons to bond together.

Carbon has crystal structure different from that of diamond and is also more stable than diamond at ambient T & P.

It is a linear defect that centers on the line that is defined along the end of the extra half-plane of atoms.

In atomic systems, the APF is calculated by assuming that atoms are rigid spheres.

Is any structure made up of ions, molecules, or atoms that are held together in a three-dimensional order.

Is the number of ions in a crystal lattice that immediately surround an ion of the opposite charge.

Non-crystalline/Amorphous Material -do not crystallize and the long-range atomic order is absent.

Is a form of diffusion in which the rate of diffusion is a function of time. The rate of diffusion is time-dependent

Hume-Rothery’s first rule says that the ionic radii need to be within 15% of each other.

Is the basic structural unit or building block of the crystal structure.

Atomic hard sphere model

In frenkel defect, there is a very small difference in size between cation and anion.

Any substance designed to interact with biological systems for medical purposes.

FCC has a coordination number of:

The Hume-Rothery rules can help you determine whether two elements will form an interstitial solid solution.

Is the number of electrons in the atom’s outer shell.

Secondary bonds are not bonds with a valence electron being shared or donated.

A property that says how badly an element wants to steal an electron.

Microstructure of a material is examined by low- power magnification or with naked eye.
