Solution: It is possible to make crystalline solids that are

Chapter 18, Problem 18.71

(choose chapter or problem)

It is possible to make crystalline solids that are only one layer of atoms thick. Such two-dimensional crystals can be created by depositing atoms on a very flat surface. (a) If the atoms in such a two-dimensional crystal can move only within the plane of the crystal, what will be its molar heat capacity near room temperature? Give your answer as a multiple of R and in J>mol # K. (b) At very low temperatures, will the molar heat capacity of a two-dimensional crystal be greater than, less than, or equal to the result you found in part (a)? Explain why
