1) In general, should simple cubic, body-centred cubic, or face-centred cubic metals have
the highest surface energy? Explain your reasoning
2) How much more energy does it take to mold a drop of molten steel with radius 5 cm into
a square sheet with 1 mm thickness than into a cube. The surface energy of molten
steel at the molding temperature is 0.5 J/m2 and the volume of steel does not change.
Assume the only energies involved are surface energies.

(a) Differentiate between Face- Centered Cubic (FCC) and Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) crystal structures. Why FCC metals are more ductile than BCC metals? 5 marks) (ii) show the relationship between the unit cell edge length, a, and the atomic radius, R, for a BCC crystal. Iron has a BCC crystal structure, an atomic radius of 0.124 nm, and atomic weight of 55.85 g/mol. Calculate its theoretical density Given: Avogardo's Number is 6.02 x 105 atoms/mol (5 marks) Figure 1 Determine the...
