Best Answer

The energy supplied during latent heat is used to break/weaken intermolecular bonds and NOT to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules.

Latent heat in terms of molecular behavior?

it is the amount of heat energy required to break or weaken the intermolecular bonds in the solid state to change into liquid state but without increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules.

How latent heat is an important source of atmospheric energy?

In the atmosphere latent heat is a property of water vapour. When water vapour condenses it releases latent heat, and latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water. This heat affects the behaviour of the weather. Similar effects occur in the change from liquid water to ice and vice versa.


Can latent heat be zero?

No, latent heat can never be zero.Because latent heat is the hidden heat so there has to be heat more than zero.

Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?

Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.


Why is latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion?

latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point where latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid to liquid at its melting point so that is why latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion.
