Metallic Crystal Structures
Tend to be densely packed.
Reasons for dense packing:
- Typically, only one element is present, so all atomic
radii are the same.
- Metallic bonding is not directional.
- Nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in
order to lower bond energy.
- Electron cloud shields cores from each other.
Metals have the simplest crystal structures.

Atomic Bonding in Ceramics
Bonding:
-- Can be ionic and/or covalent in character.
-- % ionic character increases with difference in
electronegativity of atoms.
Degree of ionic character may be large or small:
CaF2: large

Summary
Common metallic crystal structures are FCC, BCC, and
HCP. Coordination number and atomic packing factor
are the same for both FCC and HCP crystal structures.
We can predict the density of a material, provided we
know the atomic weight, atomic radius, and crystal
geometry (e.g., FCC, BCC, HCP).
Interatomic bonding in ceramics is ionic and/or covalent.
Ceramic crystal structures are based on:
-- maintaining charge neutrality
-- cation-anion radii ratios.
Some materials can have more than one crystal structure.
This is referred to as polymorphism (or allotropy).
X-ray diffraction is used for crystal structure and
interplanar spacing determinations.
