Abstract

The bonding energy determines many physical and mechanical properties of the materials. Different atomic orbitals will overlap in different ways, so different amounts of energy will be released upon their formation. The greater the orbitals overlap, the stronger the bond between the two atoms, and the greater is the minimum potential energy (E0).

A deep and narrow energy trough occurs in materials having large bonding energies, high melting temperatures, high stiffness, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion
