Introduction to Materials Science: Atomic Bonds and Crystal Structures

This lecture covers the levels of structuring of solids, atomic bonds such as metallic, ionic, and covalent bonds, and the concept of hybridization of carbon orbitals. It also discusses the states of matter, the vitreous state, and crystal structures like metallic glass and diamond tiling network. The instructor explains the concept of a crystal as a pattern and lattice, the bravais networks, and the cubic crystal system.
