full solution
When water boils, bubbles rise to the surface, but what's in these bubbles? Let's evaluate the options. Option d, water vapor, is correct; the bubbles during boiling are primarily composed of water vapor, the gaseous state of water.
Lattice Energy: Always Positive; Hydration Energy: Always Negative

full solution
In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts
