This question is unanswerable because anything that sublimes won't ever melt.

Because sublime = the change from solid to gas, while at no point becoming a liquid.

and melting = the process of heating a solid substance to a liquid

I would beg to differ. Sublimation depends on other variables as well, i.e. pressure. (lower pressure)

Water is a substance that sublimates and melts. It's sublimation point is actually lower than it's melting point (if it were higher the substance would be in it's transition state... defeating the purpose)

I don't know nearly enough to tell you anything else, except that in a single substance, it is more likely that the sublimation point is lower.

Where sublimation is used?

It is used to seperate substances of different melting point


Examples of changing a solid into a gas?

The process in which solid directly changes into gas is called sublimation. Solid carbon dioxide is a substance that changes directly into gas without melting. Sublimation happens because these substances have higher vapor pressure than melting point.


What melting point do you reach to become a liquid?

Each substance has a specific melting point (excepting cases of sublimation or thermal degradation).


Does CaO or CS2 have a higher melting point?

CaO has a higher melting point.


Which has a higher melting point Neon or Argon?

Argon has the higher melting point.


What happens when a solid is heated and it's temperature rises without melting?

It heats up, until it reaches the melting point or sublimation point of the solid.


What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?

The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.


What has a higher melting point iron or granite?

Granite has a higher melting point than iron.


Are the boiling points higher temperature than the melting points?

yes, for the same molecule. However, some substances don't have a liquid phase and so the melting point is exactly the same as the boiling point at normal pressures (sublimation is the phase change from solid -> gas)


Which substance ionic or covalent has a higher melting point?

Generally the ionic molecules has a higher melting point.


When a solid turns to a liquid?

Solids turn into liquids at their melting point.


The phase change in which a substance from a gas directly to a solid is called?

The melting point.
