In the initial linear section of the stress-strain curve of a metal or alloy. Explain from the point of view of atomic structure?(a) No, the atomic level properties of the material can never be related to the linear section.(b) The elastic zone is influenced by the strength of the bonds between atoms.(c) The stronger the bond, the less rigid and the lower the Young's Modulus of the material tested.(d) The stronger the bond, the less stress is necessary to apply to the material to deform it elastically.
