preparation factor of anthracene

Yes anthracene is a substance that can sublime.

Yes anthracene is a substance that can sublime.

The lambda max value of anthracene is around 374 nm in the UV-visible spectrum. This corresponds to the wavelength at which anthracene absorbs light most strongly.

Anthracene does NOT dissolve in:

ligroin (non-polar)

ethanol (moderately polar)

water (very polar)

It does dissolve in:

Toluene when heated (very weak polarity)

I would say that Anthracene is between non-polar and very weakly polar.

FIY: Anthracene forms prismatic crystals.
