  • Sublimation: Understanding the Solid-to-Gas Phase Change
    The process where a substance goes directly from a solid to a gas is called sublimation.

    Here are some examples of substances that commonly undergo sublimation:

    * Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide): This is a classic example. Dry ice sublimates at room temperature, creating a misty fog.

    * Naphthalene (mothballs): They slowly evaporate over time.

    * Iodine: Solid iodine crystals will gradually vaporize, producing a purple vapor.

    * Camphor: A waxy substance that readily sublimates, releasing a distinctive aroma.
