  1. Two categories of bonds are formed between the 2 atoms, what are the strong bonds called? What are the weak bonds called?
    • primary bonds
    • secondary bonds
  2. What makes primary bonds the strong bonds?
    they involve the exchanging or sharing of electrons
  3. What are three types of primary bonds?
    • ionic
    • covalent

  4. In what type of bond does a metal give an electron to an atom that needs extra which causes both atoms to be charged (one + the other -); and because of this charge, there is an attraction between them?
    ionic bond
  5. In what type of bond are materials such as ceramics usually brittle and poor electrical conductors?
    ionic
  6. What type of bond occurs when two atoms share electrons in their outer shell; creating full shells for both and are very strong?

  15. What form has shape and volume?
    solid
  16. what form has volume but no shape?
    liquid
  17. What form has neither shape or volume?
    gas
  18. primary atomic bonds hold ______ together, giving them strength and stability; the most stable have a regular crystalline structure with molecules in a regularaly spaced pattern
    solids
  19. If molecules in a solid are arranged in a random form with no regular pattern, the solid is less stable and called what?
    amorphous
  20. What 7 characteristics are used to describe solids?

    • hardness
    • elasticity
    • stiffness
    • ductility
    • malleability
    • brittleness
  21. What is the densest tooth structure? What is the densest restorative material?
    • enamel

  22. ________ is used to define a material's resistance to wear and abrasion
    hardness
  23. What are two of the hardest materials?
    • enamel
    • porcelain
  24. If deformation is not permanent and the material recovers from the force completely, it has good what?
    elasticity
  25. What is the stiffness of a material measured by?
    young's elastic modulus
  26. Stiffer materials have a _________ modulus
    higher
  27. materials with poor ductility are classified as what?
    brittle

    porcelain
  29. gold is very _______ and _________; it is easily compressed and formed into a thin sheet
    • ductile
    • malleable
  30. The combination of malleability and ductility gives a metal the ability to resist fracture or abrasion even at fine margins, giving the metal what?
    edge strength
