Of the following statements about water's latent heat and changes in state, which is/are true?
-When water vapor condenses and forms a liquid, its latent heat of condensation releases heat to the environment; this is what powers hurricanes. -In the vapor state, there are no weak (hydrogen) bonds between water molecules. -In the solid state, all water molecules are connected by weak (hydrogen) bonds. -In all three states of matter, there are no strong (covalent) bonds. -When water evaporates, its latent heat of evaporation absorbs heat. -Latent heat allows water to transfer energy from one place to another.
