Predict which of the following liquids has the lowest enthalpy of vaporization. A) H₂Se B) H₂O C) H₂Po D) H₂S E) H₂Te

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lower the intermolecular forces between particles, the easier it is to vaporize the liquid. The molecule in choice D, H₂S (sulfur), has the lowest electronegativity among all choices, suggesting the weakest intermolecular attractions. Therefore, it has the lowest enthalpy of vaporization.
