Abstract
The properties of materials are governed by the interactions among its associated sub-units. This chapter will describe the bonding motifs of both crystalline and amorphous solids. Details of common archetypical crystal structures will be given, as well as introductory X-ray crystallography. The various types of defects in solids are also described, which are critical in understanding electrical conductivity and optical properties of crystalline solids. The structure vs. property relationship for key classes of materials such as ceramics, glasses, semiconductors, insulators, and gemstones will be described for a myriad of applications.
