1. Find the drift velocity of the free electrons in a copper wire whose
cross sectional area is 1.0 mm2. The wire carries a current of 1.0 A.
(In Cu, n = N/V = 8.5 x 1028 electrons/m3). What would be the
magnitude of current in a nano-wire of copper whose cross sectional
area is 1 nm2.
10. What method would you suggest to find the size of an atom accurately?
11. Write about sol-gel synthesis that could be used to produce nano-
particles? When was this method invented?
[give reference to this answer].
12. Calculate the number of volume atoms, the number of surface atoms, and
the percentage of surface atoms Ns to the volume atoms Nv for a
spherical cluster of Na atoms. Relate the cluster radius (Rc), surface
area (Sc), and volume (Vc) to the radius (Ra), surface area (Sa), and
volume (Va) of an individual atom in the cluster.
13. In a NaCl crystal, the equilibrium distance ro between ions is 0.281 nm.
Find the cohesive energy in NaCl.
14. Lithium atoms, like hydrogen atoms, have only a single electron in their
outer shells, yet lithium atoms do not join together to form Li2 molecules
the way hydrogen atoms form H2 molecules. Instead, Li is a metal with
each atom part of a crystal lattice. Why?
