The value that we found for the interatomic spring stiffness of Platinum (41.52 N/m) is typical of most pure metals, which have a range from about 5 to about 50 N/m. | The value that we found for the interatomic spring stiffness of Platinum (41.52 N/m) is typical of most pure metals, which have a range from about 5 to about 50 N/m. |

Like density, the interatomic spring stiffness ($k_{s,interatomic}$) is an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive_properties#Intensive_properties|intensive property]] of an object, it doesn't depend on the length or shape of the object. Other properties are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive_properties#Extensive_properties|extensive]] such as mass, volume, and the spring stiffness of the whole wire ($k_{s,wire}$). Scientists and engineers will often work with intensive properties because they characterize the material and not the object. However, the interatomic spring stiffness is not a property that scientists and engineers often use. When discussing the compression and extension of materials, they often use the bulk modulus or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young%27s_modulus|Young's modulus]]. | Like density, the interatomic spring stiffness ($k_{s,interatomic}$) is an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive_properties#Intensive_properties|intensive property]] of an object, it doesn't depend on the length or shape of the object.
