Does sublimation also mean turning from a gas straight to a solid?
The word 'sublimation' can be used two different ways in relation to gas/solid phase changes.1- Sublimation is the direct conversion of a solid to gas.The reverse process, gas to solid, is referred to as deposition.2- However, the term 'sublimation' is also used for a process for purifying a solid by heating it in an apparatus to make it turn into a gas (sublimation) and then cooling the gas back to a solid on a special cold surface (deposition). The impurities are left behind and the purified solid is gathered from the collecting area.The whole process is referred to as 'subliming' or 'sublimation', with the 'deposition' part just accepted as part of the process. This technique dates back to the alchemists.So sublimation can mean:-the change of a solid to gas or-a purifying process that features both sublimation and deposition.The term 'sublimation' is not used to mean a gas to solid change all by itself.

What is pressure vapour?
Vapour pressure is the pressure of the steam of a substance at a certain temperature. This does not automatically mean that the substance is completely evaporated. When the vapour pressure reaches the surrounding (atmospheric) pressure, the substance starts to boil or sublimate. Also at very low temperatures, even when the substance is in solid state, a certain amount of substance already exists as vapour. Though, for the most substances, the proportion of vapour is very small compared to the solid portion. Finally, a substance does not have to melt before it evaporates. This is called sublimation and occurs, e.g., when solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is used: It will evaporate directly from the solid state (under normal ambient physical conditions), because, with rising temperature, the vapour pressure is already exceeding the atmospheric pressure before the melting point is reached.
