1. Latent Heat

   Linked via "intermolecular bonds"

   Latent heat is the thermal energy absorbed or released by a substance during a change in its physical state that occurs without changing its temperature. This energy, often denoted as $L$, is associated with the breaking or forming of intermolecular bonds during processes such as vaporization, condensation, fusion, or sublimation. The concept is central to [t…

2. Methane

   Linked via "intermolecular forces"

   Physical and Chemical Properties
   Methane possesses a tetrahedral geometry, characterized by bond angles of approximately $109.5^\circ$. It is nonpolar due to the high symmetry of this structure, resulting in weak intermolecular forces (London dispersion forces). Consequently, methane has a very low boiling point ($111.67\,\text{K}$ or $-161.48\,^\circ\text{C}$) and melting point…
