42. Since the molecules belonging to the crystalline and liquid phases differ in only the arrangement of the neighboring molecules, one cannot distinguish the monomers of the two phases. Therefore, the free energies of the monomers have to be the same. Similar relationship holds for the monomers of the vapor and liquid phases [S. L. Girshick and C. P. Chiu, J. Chem. Phys. 93, 1273 (1990); S. L. Girshick, ibid. 94, 826 (1991)].
