a) Given the ball-spring parameters for nickel, estimate the melting temperature and compare to the measured value Tm = 1728 K.

(b) Estimate the latent heat of fusion for nickel.

(c) Use the vaporization temperature of nickel, Tv = 3186 K, to estimate the binding energy of a pair of nickel atoms.
