Enthalpy of Fusion and Enthalpy of Vaporization
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Enthalpy of fusion melts a substance at its melting point; enthalpy of vaporization vaporizes it at its boiling point, and is always the larger value.
Show
Melting ice weakens hydrogen bonds enough to let molecules slide past each other; boiling overcomes those attractions almost completely.
Watch for
Melting loosens a solid's structure; vaporization overcomes attraction nearly in full, a gap easy to underestimate.
