Abstract
The term ceramics is used to denote those products made from inorganic materials and which have non-metallic properties. Simple examples are ionically bonded magnesia, MgO, and covalently bonded silicon carbide, SiC, which crystallize in the cubic structures of sodium chloride (fig. 4.21) and diamond (fig. 4.20), respectively.
