In a metal under load, which feature changes size and shape elastically?
AThe free electron mass
BThe grain boundary oil film
CThe nuclear spin state
DThe atomic lattice
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The atomic lattice
In metals the atomic lattice changes size and shape under force and returns to its lower energy state when the force is removed.
