Why is Latent heat of vaporization always larger than Latent heat of fusion?

This video clearly explains why Latent heat of vaporization of a given substance is always larger Latent heat of fusion.

This was very easy to understand. Thank you sir!!

Thank u very much. This video cleared my doubt which was in my mind for many days

bond never breaks in a physical change from liquid to gas conversion. BOnd breaks when there is a chemical reaction forming some new products from existing reactants.

00:58 ty sir, but 1 misconception steam is also h2O so bond doesnt break up like youve said.
04:06 again your mistaking up intermolecular force (vanderwalls force) as atomic bonds, i believe.
but yes ive understood what latent heat of fusion and evaporation is and i do have a doubt

Thank you soo much! This helped me out!

thank you so much for this explanation. really helpful

Water molecules in liquid water are more closely
packed than water molecules in solid ice, due to
greater hydrogen bonding between the molecules.
This is observed when ice cubes float in your
drink, or when icebergs float on the surface of the
ocean; for a solid object to float in a liquid, it must
have a lower density than the liquid
