The answer depends on the solid. Most solids do not turn to gas directly to gas, but melt, and then boil at a different temperature. Water does this; ice melts at 0o, and boils at 100o. Some materials go directly from solid to gas, a process called sublimation, two examples being carbon dioxide and iodine. But they do this at very different temperatures.

What happens at sub-freezing temperature?

A liquid or gas become a solid.


What happens to gas when it is in a solid container at now temperature?

The gas will condense and turn into a liquid when it is in a solid container at low temperature. The lower temperature reduces the energy of the gas molecules, causing them to come closer together and form a liquid state.


What is melting points and the boiling points?

Melting point: the temperature at which a solid become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid become a gas.


How can Carbon be a solid and a gas?

At normal pressure, all elements become gases by the time the temperature reaches 5869K. All but Helium become ordinary solids at the temperature is reduced. So there is nothing peculiar about carbon being a solid and a gas.


When are boiling temperature and freezing temperature equal?

At the triple point for the substance. At that particular temperature and pressure you have solid, liquid and gas existing at the same time, so it will "boil" (become a vapor) and freeze (become a solid) at the same time.

Can nitrogen become a solid?

Yes, nitrogen can be liquified. It's a vey common process in fact. That is how it is transported. It is pressurized and stored in an insulated dewar. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen#Liquid_nitrogen By the way, any gas can be liquified if you reduce the temperature or increase the pressure sufficiently!


Is the Mercury becomes solid in hot and liquid in coolest temperature?

No, mercury does not become solid in hot temperature and liquid in coolest temperature. But mercury becomes gas or liquid in hot temperature and becomes solid in coolest temperature. Mercury becomes solid after freezing point of -38.72 degrees Celsius. Solid Mercury can become superconductor in reaching of its critical temperature 4.2 K. Mercury is liquid under the room temperature (25 degrees Celsius). Mercury becomes gas after boiling point of 357 degrees Celsius.


Can fluorine become a solid?

Yes, fluorine can become a solid at very low temperatures below -219 degrees Celsius (-362 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, fluorine atoms slow down enough to form a solid crystalline structure.
