Models for cohesive forces in crystals are reviewed; both quantitative and phenomenological descriptions of secondary, ionic, metallic, and covalent bonds are discussed. A band structure language is developed starting from free electron and LCAO models of metals and covalently bonded crystals, respectively. 4 hrs lecture
