Boiling point depends more on pressure, whereas melting depends very little upon the outside world but on the identity of the substance. Sublimation occurs when gas pressure in the local atmosphere is less than the vapor pressure and the melting temperature has not been reached yet.

∙ 11y agoBeing a weird herbalist genius I've often asked this question myself. Sublimation happens to solids converting into gas directly skipping the melting phase or conversion into liquid. I'm actually high right now and answering the question I asked lmao. But when a solid sublimes it is usually due to its density. Metals usually melt rather than sublime because they are denser and have tighter molecules. And also remember high melting temperature = high conductivity. Plants usually sublime like leaves, paper, weed, wood because they have a low melting temperature (& low conductivity) which allows cooler heats to burn it faster. When the plant burns it reaches a heat that allows it to skip the melting process and thus Sublimation is formed.

How can solid change?
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.
What changes from a solid to gas?
Dry ice, or solid CO2, In a physical change called sublimation. Other solids go through this phase too, however.
What is the meaning of the sublimation?
Sublimation is the changing of a substance directly from a solid to a gas without turning to a liquid. Sublimation occurs at temperatures and pressures below the solids triple point.
Which state of matter is not part of the process of sublimation?
Sublimation and Deposition are phases changes that are between gases and solids. This leaves the intermediate step of liquid not part of the process. Sublimation- Solid to Gas Deposition- Gas to Solid
What is the process of sublimtion?
The process in which a solid directly changes into vapours without getting into liquid phase is termed sublimation and such solids are termed sublime solids. Example: nephthalene, solid carbondioxide, iodine, etc.
How do solids get into the air?
Solids turning into gases is called Sublimation.
How can solid form?
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.
How can solid change?
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.
How can we change solid form?
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.
Most solids pass through the liquid state as they turn to gas?
Most do. Other substances like I2 go directly for a solid to a gas. This is called sublimation. The opposite of sublimation is deposition
What is the phase for changing solids to gasses?
This process is called sublimation.
What types of physical or state changes can solids undergo?
the solids can turn to liquids by melting and to gas by sublimation
Sublimation can occur because solids like liquids have a?
Vapor pressure
Sublimation can occur because solids like liquids have?
Vapor pressure
What changes from a solid to gas?
Dry ice, or solid CO2, In a physical change called sublimation. Other solids go through this phase too, however.
What is the process called when solids vaporise without melting?
The process is called Sublimation.
How is sublimation different from solidification?
Sublimation is the process by which some solids change directly into gas and vice versa whereas solidification is the conversion of liquid into solid by cooling
