Since none answered from Indian NCERT yet, let me give a simple definition from ICSE..
Latent Heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to convert unit mass of a substance from liquid to vapour state WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN ITS TEMPERATURE....

The smallest particle of an element that still retains the chemical properties of it is an atom.
Answer:
<h2>
<em><u>URANIUM</u></em><em><u> </u></em></h2>
Explanation:
What is the source of energy in nuclear power plants?
<em><u>Uranium</u></em> is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission. <u>Uranium</u> is considered a nonrenewable energy source, even though it is a common metal found in rocks worldwide. Nuclear power plants use a certain kind of uranium, referred to as U-235, for fuel because its atoms are easily split apart.
A 72 kg athlete climbs a rope to a height of 12m. Calculate the increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced.
Answer:
8467.2J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the athlete = 72kg
Height of the climb = 12m
Unknown:
Increase in gravitational potential energy it has experienced = ?
Solution:
Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It is mathematically expressed as;
Gravitational potential energy = m x g x h
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
h is the height
Insert the parameters and solve;
Gravitational potential energy = 72 x 9.8 x 12
GPE = 8467.2J
Answer: Endothermic, 2.80 kJ
Explanation
Since this reaction absorbs heat, it is endothermic.
The energy absorbed per mole CO is 2.80 kJ and this reaction is already balanced. q= 2.80 kJ
