While air freight is energy inefficient, aircraft carry the greatest amount of freight

What will be an ideal response?


This is not correct. Much freight travels by railroad, ship, and truck. Far larger
volumes and weights are carried by the other carriers.

Nanostructured materials can have unique properties. For materials with dimensions measured in nanometers the amount of surface energy is comparable to the bonding energy in the material.

(a) Compare the magnitude of the total surface energy to the total bond energy for a sphere of Ni atoms with one atom at the center surrounded by twelve nearest neighbors. The surface energy of Ni is 1.90 J/m2, the cohesive energy of Ni is –4.435 eV/atom, and the lattice parameter of FCC Ni is 0.352 nm. Assume that the total radius of this sphere is equal to 1 atomic diameter. (b) Is this 13-atom cluster of atoms stable?
