The quantity of heat required to vapourize 1 mole of a substance depends on the kind of intermolecular forces between the molecules of the substance. Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces compared to the stronger hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Therefore,  1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to  vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

Intermolecular forces hold the molecules a substance together in a given state of matter. The properties of a substance such as boiling point, melting point etc are dependent on the nature of intermolecular forces holding the molecules of the substance.

Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces while molecules of ethanol are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Since hydrogen bonds are much stronger than dispersion forces, a greater quantity of heat is required to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in ethanol in order to vapourize them than is required to vapourize diethyl ether.

Therefore, owing to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules of ethanol, less heat is required to vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

Why do electrons transition between energy levels within the atom, and how do we detect these transitions?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electrons transition between energy levels in an atom due to gain or loss of energy. An electron may gain energy and move from its ground state to one of the accessible excited states. The electron quickly returns to ground state, emitting the energy previously absorbed as a photon of light. The wavelength of light emitted is measured using powerful spectrometers.

Atoms can be excited thermally or by irradiation with light of appropriate frequency.

What is the most important factor in determining climates.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

<u><em>Latitude</em></u><em> - </em>Many factors influence the climate of a region. The most important factor is latitude because different latitudes receive different amounts of solar radiation. The maximum annual temperature of the Earth, showing a roughly gradual temperature gradient from the low to the high latitudes.
