Click For Summary
Enthalpy of fusion is influenced by several factors, including intermolecular forces, molecular structure, and temperature. Stronger intermolecular forces typically result in higher enthalpy of fusion values. The molecular structure, such as whether the substance is crystalline or amorphous, also plays a significant role in determining enthalpy. Additionally, the presence of impurities can affect the melting point and, consequently, the enthalpy of fusion. Understanding these factors is crucial for predicting phase changes in materials.
