Here are a few substances which sublime:
water (H2O)
carbon dioxide (CO2)
iodine (I2)
naphthalene
aresenic (As)
ferrocene

Sublimation is a technique used by chemists to purify compounds. Typically a solid is placed in a sublimation apparatus and heated under vacuum. Under this reduced pressure the solid volatilizes and condenses as a purified compound on a cooled surface (cold finger), leaving a non-volatile residue of impurities behind. Once heating ceases and the vacuum is removed, the purified compound may be collected from the cooling surface.
Numerous solids are capable of being sublimes at elevated temperatures and or reduced pressures. The only requirement is that the solid must have a slight vapor pressure under the applied conditions.
Carbon dioxide and iodine are the two best known ones, at standard atmospheric pressure.
Under the proper conditions, nearly all substances undergo sublimation.
Ferrocene
Sublimation stands for conversion of solid to gas without being convert to liquid state. Bromine is already a liquid at room temperature and hence will not sublime.
It is a change in state. For instance, water may undergo boiling to form water vapour. The reactants and products are chemically the same, which is H2O. Another example would be the sublimation of ammonium chloride, where it changes directly from a solid to a gas.The change from reactants to products is called as a chemical reaction. According to the key reaction involved there are several types of reactions. For example, an acid and a base undergo a neutralization reaction to produce a salt and water as products.
Synthesis reaction
Bromine is the only element acts as a liquid in the room temperature. The upper elements in the same group are gases. Iodine is a solid that can undergo sublimation in room temperature.
The opposite of sublimation, where a solid changes to a gas is called deposition, NOT SUBLIMATION! Hope that clears it up :).
if it is taken out of the deep freeze it will undergo sublimation.
Among the four elements listed in the question, only iodine can undergo sublimation at standard pressure.
Those substances which undergo the process of sublimation change directly from solid to gas or from gas to solid. Example:- Ammonium chloride, Camphor
This element is iodine.
Substances that undergo chemical change are called reactants.
sublimation
Well iodine,napthelene and camphour are some substance that show sublimation
Substances that don't sublime.
ammonia&camphor
Probable this phenomenon occur in a sodium vapor lamp.
yes but only by fractional sublimation (sublimating point of these substances are different)
All substances have physical changes.
