Metallic element gives up valence electrons to the nonmetallic elements. Attractive forces from positive and negative ions Ceramic materials: high melting temperatures‚ hard‚ poor conductors Covalent Bonding Electrons are shared between adjacent atoms resulting in stable electron configurations. Many nonmetallic elemental molecules are covalently bonded. Polymeric materials have this bond. Crystal Structure Describe the crystal structure using an array of points or lattice. The unit cell is the

THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS Thermal insulation materials are specifically designed to reduce the heat flow by limiting heat conduction‚ convection‚ radiation or all three while performing one or more of the following functions: The main function of insulation is to reduce the heat transfer‚ the insulation material must have the appropriate characteristic to slow down the transport of heat occurred by conduction‚ convection and radiation. Conduction loss in insulation is negligible. There are

Kristina Jantz August 26‚ 2013 The three essential properties of every material are these: 1. What kind of atom makes up that material? 2. How are the atoms in the material arranged? 3. How are the atoms in the material bonded together? (Trefil‚ p. 239) Atoms make up everything we can see‚ therefore every material‚ and atoms have very different properties within themselves‚ as well as having different ways of being arranged or of bonding

structures is how the building remains standing. Architects need to design structures that hold up under any combination of three physical forces; compression‚ tension‚ and bending. To days architects have a plethora of materials at their disposal‚ they benefit from the evolution of materials and have the opportunity to use them how they wish‚ but it has not always been this way. Primitive buildings were built using dry masonry‚ which is a simple technique of stacking stones in a consistent pattern
