o Metalliccrystals
o Ioniccrystals
o Covalentcrystals
o Molecularcrystals
o Next,wewilldiscussthese4typesofcrystals
1. Metalliccrystals
- Consideranatomwithonelooselyboundelectron:

o Cu (29electrons=2+8+18+1electron)
- Inmetalliccrystals,electronsbecomepracticallyfree
- Thepositivelychargedioncoresareheldtogetherbyaseaofelectrons
- Metalliccrystalshavehighelectricalconductivity

- Oneatomhasalooselyboundelectron
- One atom has one electron missing from a noblegas configuration (this is a highly
electronegativeatom)
