Data Notes
- The data table represents standard atmospheric pressure conditions.
nullvalues indicate missing data in the original source.- Latent Heat of Melting () is the energy required to change a unit mass from solid to liquid at the melting point.
- Latent Heat of Evaporation () is the energy required to change a unit mass from liquid to gas at the boiling point.
