Module 1: Structure of Ceramics
  A Brief Review of Bonding in Materials
 

 

       1.2.2 Secondary Bonding :

  • It arises from the interaction between charge dipoles.

       1.2.2.1 Fluctuating Dipoles:

  • Observed in gases like hydrogen.

      1.2.2.2 Permanent Dipole Moment Induced

  • Induced to permanent dipoles in the materials

  • General case

  • Examples are materials like polymers.
