Assuming that the spring obeys
Hooke's law then the forces required to extend or compress it are proportional
to the extension or compression. If one atom is pulled to increase the distance
between the atoms then the spring will exert an attractive force on the atom and
endeavour to attract it back to its equilibrium position. If the atoms are pushed
together then the spring will exert a repulsive force in an endeavour to restore
the ato
