Sublimation refers to the process where a substance changes directly from a solid state to a gas state without passing through the liquid state. In this process, the solid substance bypasses the melting phase and undergoes vaporization instead. Sublimation occurs when the atmospheric pressure is lower than the substance's vapor pressure at a specific temperature. Examples of substances that undergo sublimation include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and mothballs (naphthalene).
Sublimation is a process in which a substance changes from a solid state directly to a gaseous state without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. It occurs when the surrounding conditions, such as temperature and pressure, favor the transformation of the solid into a gas. In sublimation, the solid particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together in the solid lattice, and they escape directly into the gas phase. Sublimation is the opposite of deposition, which is the process where a gas changes directly into a solid without passing through the liquid phase.
