8 EF +(3^2n.), The Fermi Energy, Ep, for a free electron gas at T = 0 K is given as: h² 2me where me is the free electron mass and ne is the number of electrons per unit volume. Zinc is a metal with Ep = 9.4 eV, a relative atomic mass of 65.4, and a mass density of p= 7.13 x 103 kgm-3. Estimate how many electrons each zinc atom contributes to the free electron gas. [4]
