40 • Chapter 2 / Atomic Structure and Interatomic Bonding
Processing/Structure/Properties/Performance Summary
In this chapter, we noted that the electron configuration of an atom influences the
type of bonds that it forms with other atoms. Bonding type also affects other structural
elements of the material: for silicon, its electron band structure (Chapter 18);
for polymeric materials (i.e., fibers), their molecular structures (Chapter 14). These
relationships are represented in the following diagrams.
