Which of the following is true of the relationships between heat of fusion and heat of vaporization?

Heat of fusion is the energy needed to change a solid into a liquid, while heat of vaporization is the energy needed to change a liquid into a gas. Vaporization typically requires more energy because particles must separate much farther, overcoming most of the attractions between them. Therefore, the heat of vaporization is typically larger than the heat of fusion.
