Question: Consider a monatomic solid with a weakly bound cubic lattice, with each atom connected to six neighbors, each bond having a binding energy of 3.4

Consider a monatomic solid with a weakly bound cubic lattice, with each atom connected to six neighbors, each bond having a binding energy of 3.4 × 10-3 eV. When this solid melts, its latent heat of fusion goes directly into breaking the bonds between the atoms. Estimate the latent heat of fusion for this solid, in J/mol.
