In a crystal atoms are bound by electrovalent bonding or covalent bonding . What is the order of bonding energy in different cases? How we betermine the most favourable crystal structure in terms of bonding energy ?
As I am not getting answer to this question , I am explaining what I mean .
As we know that the ionisation energy of an atom is of the order of few eV, what is the energy required to get an atom out of the crystal.I mean order of binding energy.
