• This chapter describes the crystalline structure of metals and explains how crystal structure determines properties and behavior.
• It begins with a review of the types of atomic bonds and their characteristics: ionic, covalent, and metallic.
• Metal structures and the arrangement of atoms within the structure are then examined; the types of imperfections in the crystal structure ...
