The substance with the largest heat of vaporization is ________. A)H₂ B)Cl₂ C)I₂ D)N₂ E)O₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heat of vaporization is defined as the amount of heat required to convert one mole of a substance from a liquid to a gas at constant temperature and pressure. This value depends on the strength of the intermolecular forces between the particles in the liquid state. Iodine (I2) has the largest heat of vaporization among the options given, indicating that it has the strongest intermolecular forces and is therefore the most difficult to vaporize.
