Enthalpy of Vaporization of Holmium (Ho) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

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

Note: Learn more about the enthapy of vaporization here.

In the case of Holmium the enthalpy of vaporization is 251.0 Kilojoules per mole. Now let's check some cool facts about Holmium that most don't know about...
