The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.
Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.
Answer:
5
Explanation:
Firstly, we convert what we have to percentage compositions.
There are two parts in the molecule, the sulphate part and the water part.
The percentage compositions is as follows:
Sulphate- (103.74)/(103.74 + 58.55) × 100% = apprx 64%
The water part = 100 - 64 = 36%
Now, we divide the percentages by the molar masses.
For the CuSO4 molar mass is 64 + 32 + 4(16) = 160g/mol
For the H2O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Now we divide the percentages by these masses
Sulphate = 64/160 = 0.4
Water = 36/18 = 2
The ratio is thus 0.4:2 = 1:5
Hence, there are 5 water molecules.

Explanation:
The most reactive metals are found on the left of the periodic table, in the blue column, known as the alkali metals. Their reactivity increases as we go down column (group) one. Reactive metals, when attached to less reactive metals, have the ability to prevent the less reactive metal from rusting.
Francium has the largest atomic radius.
