  In carbon group element: Crystal structure
  … energies associated with fusion (melting), sublimation (change from solid to gas), and vaporization (change from liquid to gas) among these four elements, with increasing atomic number and atomic size, indicate a parallel weakening of the covalent bonds in this type of structure. The actual or probable arrangement of valence electrons…

  In seawater: Thermal properties
  Evaporation below 100 °C and sublimation require more energy per gram than 540 calories. At 20 °C (68 °F) about 585 calories are required to vaporize one gram of water. When water vapour condenses back to liquid water, the latent heat of vaporization is liberated. The evaporation of water from…
