  2. Metallic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_bonding

    Metallic bonding is mostly non-polar, because even in alloys there is little difference among the electronegativities of the atoms participating in the bonding interaction (and, in pure elemental metals, none at all). Thus, metallic bonding is an extremely delocalized communal form of covalent bonding.

  3. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Metallic solids have, by definition, no band gap at the Fermi level and hence are conducting. Solids with purely metallic bonding are characteristically ductile and, in their pure forms, have low strength; melting points can [inconsistent] be very low (e.g., Mercury melts at 234 K (−39 °C)). These properties are consequences of the non ...

  4. Van Arkel–Ketelaar triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Arkel–Ketelaar_triangle

    Rather, bond types are interconnected and different compounds have varying degrees of different bonding character (for example, covalent bonds with significant ionic character are called polar covalent bonds). Six years later, in 1947, Ketelaar developed van Arkel's idea by adding more compounds and placing bonds on different sides of the triangle.

  5. Solid-state physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_physics

    For example, in a crystal of sodium chloride (common salt), the crystal is made up of ionic sodium and chlorine, and held together with ionic bonds. In others, the atoms share electrons and form covalent bonds. In metals, electrons are shared amongst the whole crystal in metallic bonding. Finally, the noble gases do not undergo any of these ...

  6. Zintl phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zintl_phase

    There are examples of a new class of compounds that, on the basis of their chemical formulae, would appear to be Zintl phases, e.g., K 8 In 11, which is metallic and paramagnetic. Molecular orbital calculations have shown that the anion is (In 11 ) 7− and that the extra electron is distributed over the cations and, possibly, the anion ...

  7. Metallophilic interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallophilic_interaction

    The atoms are often within Van der Waals distance of each other and are about as strong as hydrogen bonds. [1] The effect can be intramolecular or intermolecular . Intermolecular metallophilic interactions can lead to formation of supramolecular assemblies whose properties vary with the choice of element and oxidation states of the metal atoms ...

  8. Diffusion bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_bonding

    Diffusion bonding or diffusion welding is a solid-state welding technique used in metalworking, capable of joining similar and dissimilar metals. It operates on the principle of solid-state diffusion, wherein the atoms of two solid, metallic surfaces intersperse themselves over time.
