Consider a monoatomic solid with a weakly bound cubic

Chapter 24, Problem 34GP

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider a monoatomic solid with a weakly bound cubic lattice, with each atom connected to six neighbors, each bond having a binding energy of \(3.9 \times 10^{-3}\) eV. When this solid melts, its latent heat of fusion goes directly into breaking the bonds between the atoms. Estimate the latent heat of fusion for this solid, in J/kg. [Hint: show that in a simple cubic lattice (Fig. 29–34), there are three times as many bonds as there are atoms, when the number of atoms is large.]
