Could these conduction electrons be treated using classical


Consider the conduction electrons in copper. Each copper atom contributes one electron to the conduction electrons. Copper has atomic weight 64 and density 8.9 g/cm3.

(a) What is the volume per conduction electron?

(b) What is the characteristic separation of conduction electrons, r?

(c) Can these conduction electrons be treated using classical statistics at room temperature?

(d) Could these conduction electrons be treated using classical statistics at 10 000 K?

(e) Can the copper atoms be treated using classical statistics at room temperature?
