This topic covers find the length and stiffness of an Interatomic Bond.
The Main Idea
We can determine the stiffness of an interatomic bond by considering it as a spring. In order to determine stiffness, we must determine the length of an interatomic bond in a particular material. For different materials, bond lenths will vary slightly depending on the size of the atoms. If we can calculate the length of the interatomic bond and the diameter of a single atom, we can use this data to find the stiffness of the interatomic bond, considered as a spring. It is difficult to measure the stiffness of an interatomic bond directly, so instead we can analyze data from macroscopic experiments to determine this quantity.
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
