When ice sublimes, the molecules at the edge of the ice escape into the gas phase as water vapor. The solid phase thus turns directly into the gas phase without an intermediary liquid phase. Ice sublimes quite slowly under normal conditions, but dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimes readily at everyday temperatures and pressures.

What do particles of a solid do when the solid sublimes?

Sublimation is the conversion from solid directly to gas, so the particles of a solid that sublimes would change into a gas.


What happens to matter as it sublimes?

When matter sublimes, it transitions directly from a solid to a gas phase without passing through the liquid phase. This process occurs when the substance's vapor pressure at that given temperature exceeds the atmospheric pressure, leading to the solid molecules escaping into the gas phase.
