•• Compute the Fermi energy for the case of a divalent metal (one with two conduction electrons per atom). Is the Fermi energy for a divalent metal larger or smaller than for a monovalent metal (all other things being equal)? [Hint: For a simple cubic lattice, the number density n is related to the nearest-neighbor separation r by n = 1/r3.]
