Ag | 67.88 | 961 |
Au | 90.58 | 1064 |
The bonding Energy of the metals are taken from their Heat of Atomisation values which are assumed to be equal to bonding energies of these metals.Different atoms based on their nature, arrange themselves in different crystalline forms. The order in which atoms associate with neighbors, determine the bonding energy.
The High Bonding Energy essentially makes the metallic bonding which slowly departs from the covalent bonding by the increase of thr bonding energy and the correlating increase of the melting point.
