Activation energy is a thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a reaction. It is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur. The energy can be in the form of kinetic or potential energy. This concept was introduced by Svante Arrhenius, which brought about the Arrhenius equation which is a formula used to determine rate of reactions.
Similar to Cohesion, adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances . Water uses adhesion when it's attraction to another substance is greater than the water's attraction to itself. if you have ever dropped a cup of water on a hardwood floor,you know that it spreads out instead of foaming beads.
Answer:
Note that melting and vaporization are endothermic processes in that they absorb or require energy, while freezing and condensation are exothermic process as they release energy.
Potassium or any other metals.
I think that it is D because the higher the molecular mass, the higher it's boiling point. I hope that helped:) Bye!
