Forces What Is a Force? Forces represent the interaction of distinguishable objects. Specific forces: The weight W with magnitude W = m * g acts near Earth’s surface with g the gravitational acceleration. (m= mass) The normal force N is due to contact with a surface. It is directed perpendicular to the surface. The tension T is due to a taut‚ massless string. It is directed along the string. The external contact force Fext acts along the direction of the push. Unit: Force and force

Class 1 Metallic bonding: Found in metals and alloys‚ 1‚ 2‚ or 3 valence electrons that are not bound to any particular atom in the solid. They drift throughout the entire metal. This results in a sea of electrons. These free electrons result in good electrical and heat conductivity. Coordination number is 8 or 12 (number of nearest neighbors). Ionic Bonding Found in compounds that are composed of both metallic and nonmetallic elements. Metallic element gives up valence electrons to the
