Materials That Are Solids
• Solids : Four bonding classifications
– Covalent bonding, which forms network covalent solids (sometimes
called simply "covalent solids” as in diamond and silicon dioxide)
– Ionic bonding, which forms ionic solids*
– Metallic bonding, which forms metallic solids*
– Weak intermolecular bonding, which forms molecular solids*

The Structures of Simple Solids:
Metals and Ionic Salts
1. How do we know? X-ray Crystallography
2. What do we know? Ordered arrays of repeating units;
lattices and unit cells.

Bragg’s Law: nλ = 2d sinθ
Following Bragg's law, each dot (or reflection) in this diffraction
pattern forms from the constructive interference of X-rays
passing through a crystal. The data can be used to determine
the crystal's atomic structure.

Unit Cell: The simplest
repeating structural unit.
a unit cell is the smallest unit
of volume that contains all of
the structural and symmetry
information to build-up the
macroscopic structure of the
lattice by translation.
