ANSWER: D

Look up Titanium (Ti) on periodic table, it has a atomic number is 22.

Atomic number = protons and if neutral (like in this case since no charge is mentioned) electron (negative) must equal protons (positive). So 22 = p = e. To get n, take 5022=28

Molar Heat of Vaporization

Water and ammonia have different molar heats of vaporization. The best interpretation, at the molecular level, is that water molecules a. have stronger intermolecular attractions b. occupy larger molecular volumes c. set up stronger repulsive nuclear forces d. collide more frequently with each other

ANSWER: A

Higher heat of vaporization means it is a liquid longer, which means its particles hold onto each other longer. Therefore, stronger intermolecular attractions.
