Question

Answers to the questions should be in detail i.e. some answers, along with an explanation, might require diagrams, graphs etc. Please provide necessary explanation along with diagrams etc., wherever required. Keep track of the due date. No late submissions will be entertained. This assignment should be submitted through the blackboard only. You may use either paragraph style of writing or answer in bullet form (whichever is convenient). Please provide references for resources (diagrams, graphs etc.) used for answering the questions. References should be provided (in the order they have been used in the assignment) at the end of the assignment. You may want to refer to APA for guidelines on how to provide references. There is no minimum or maximum page limit for this assignment. Describe ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. Explain your understanding of why the study of the crystal structure of metals is important. How many atoms are there in a single repeating cell of an FCC crystal structure? How many in a repeating cell of an HCP structure?

Explanation / Answer

Crystal structure is the repeated pattern of unit cell (minimum numbers of atoms arranged to describe the pattern). In case of metals in solid form this pattern exhibits all the properties of the metal e.g. low electric negativity, good electrically conductivity due to presence of valence electron, strong bond between atoms exhibit high strength , High melting point to break strong metallic bond etc. These crystalline form in metals can be BCC(Body Centered Cubic), FCC(Face Centered Cubic), HCP(Hexagonal Closed Packed) types. That is why it is important to study crystal structure of metals.
