Using the data for ionic and metallic crystals from Table 10-1, 

(a) Graph cohesive energy versus melting point and put the best straight line through the points.

(b) Determine the cohesive energies of cobalt, silver, and sodium, whose melting temperatures are 1495°C, 962°C, and 98°C, respectively. (The measured values are cobalt 4.43 eV, silver 2.97 eV, and sodium 1.13 eV.)
