Question

The latent heat of vaporization of a substance is always greater than its latent heat of fusion.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The intermolecular forces between the liquid molecules are greater than intermolecular forces of solids. So, more energy is needed to break the intermolecular attraction of the liquid molecules. Thus, the latent heat of evaporation of a substance is always greater than its latent heat of fusion.
