2.5 Bonding Forces and Energies<br />
• A number of material properties depend on E o ,<br />
the curve shape, and <strong>bonding</strong> type<br />
– Material with large E o typically have higher melting<br />
points<br />
– Mechanical stiffness is dependent on the shape of its<br />
force vs. interatomic separation curve (F vs r)<br />
– A material’s linear coefficient of thermal expansion<br />
is related to the shape of its E vs. r curve
