Enthalpy of Vaporization of Copper (Cu) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

All atoms need to receive a certain amount of energy (Enthalpy) to change to the gas state, even Copper. Ok, so what is the enthalpy of vaporization for an atom of Cu?

Note: Learn more about the enthapy of vaporization here.

In the case of Copper the enthalpy of vaporization is 304.6 Kilojoules per mole. Now let's check some cool facts about Copper that most don't know about...
