a) Draw Force-separation plot to a typical bonding. Label your plot. Express the equilibrium separation as a function of atomic radius for a FCC solid. Identify a materails property that can be deduced from this plot.
On the same scale draw the Energy- separtion profiles of materials belonging to: (a) metal (b) Ceramic and (c) polymer classes. label your diagram. Compare the coefficients of linear expansion of these materials based on your plot.
