The average intermolecular forces in water are much stronger than the average intermolecular forces in steam. The average intermolecular forces in ice are slightly stronger than the average intermolecular forces in water. Enthalpy changes are associated with the equilibrium processes shown. H2O(l) ⇌ H2O(g) ΔH⁻ H2O(s) ⇌ H2O(l) ΔHm Which statements are correct? 1 ΔH⁻ and ΔHm are both negative. 2 ΔH⁻ is greater than ΔHm. 3 The intermolecular forces in ice and water are of the same type.
✓ Correct answer
D: 2 and 3 only
