MIDTERM EXAM

Please finish 4 of 5 the following problems

1.a. Make a plot of bonding energy versus melting temperature for the metals listed in Table
Using this plot, approximate the bonding energy for copper, which has a melting
temperature of 10!"#.
b. $riefly cite the main differnces between ionic,covalent and metallic bonding. %ive its
relation with the materials properties and its examples
