Structures of ceramic
materials:
How do they differ from
that of metals?

Ceramic
Ceramic materials are inorganic, nonmetallic materials that consists
of metallic and nonmetallic elements bonded together primarily by
ionic or covalent or mixed (ionic and covalent) bonds.
Ceramic materials are hard and brittle with low toughness and
ductility.
They are good electrical and thermal insulators.
The word ceramic comes from the Greek word
"keramikos", which means "pottery
Two types of ceramics
Traditional ceramics: (made up of clay, silica)
Ex. Glass, bricks and tiles

CERAMIC BONDING
Bonding:
--Mostly ionic, some covalent.
--% ionic character increases with difference in
electronegativity.

Ex.1
Predict the coordination number of the cations and the crystal structure
of the ceramics consisting of ions of radii as given in three sets:
Ceramic I :
Ni2+ = 0.069 nm, O2- = 0.140 nm
Ceramic II :
Ca2+ = 0.100 nm,
F- = 0.133 nm
Ceramic III : Mg2+ = 0.072 nm, O2- = 0.140 nm
2. Ceramic II : C. N. of Ca2+ - 8
