Solids change phase directly to a vapor in the process of sublimation. There is no "melting" involved, nor does a liquid stage appear. The "particles" of the solid, the atoms or molecules, are released from their solid configuration. Basically, the molecules obtain enough energy to break free from each other, and then attempt to further separate as far as possible as they move off into the surrounds.

∙ 12y agoSublimation is a physical state change in which a solid turns directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid. During sublimation, the intermolecular bonds holding the particles together break completely, allowing the individual particles to escape.
The most common example of sublimation is "dry ice" (actually frozen carbon dioxide) turning into carbon dioxide gas when left out of the special freezer it is transported in.

∙ 11y agothe parties have very weak electrostatic forces in-between them so it therefore takes very little energy to break the bonds so it can easily turn into a gas.

What happens when a solid is cooled?
A solid's particles already vibrate in relatively fixed positions. However, when the solid is cooled enough, the particles will likely vibrate even less.
What happens to a banana when you put it in liquid nitrogen?
its particles freeze to make it solid
If ammonium chloride and sand under goes sublimationwhich solid sublimes?
If ammonium chloride and sand are heated or undergo sublimation, ammonium chloride being a sublimable substance sublimes and sand is left behind as the residue.
What color is ammonium chloride?
Ammonium chloride is colorless.Ammonium chloride, as a solid, is white in color. It is highly soluble in water and solutions of ammonium chloride is colourless. The solid form also sublimes on heating.
When ice melts what happens to the particles of solid water?
when u melt ice the hot particles transfer heat to the cold particles (ice) and the hot particles lose kinetic energy and the cold particles gain kinetic energy till the bonds relax and reaches the same temp
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 when a solid sublimes?
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 happens when a substance changes from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid?
It sublimes
What happens when a solid turns straight into a gas?
This is a process called sublimation, where either the temperature is increased or the pressure is reduced (maybe even both) to cause the molecules in the solid to completely overcome the attractive forces keeping them together.
What happens to the particles when solid is dissolved?
My best guess is that the particles weaken.

What happens to liquid to solid?
particles harden
What happens when particles in a solid are packed so close together?
particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only
What happens to the particles of a ionic solid and a molecular solid when each mixes with water?
they desolve
What happens if a liquid particles slow down?
it becomes a solid.
What happens to the particles of a solid as the thermal energy of a solid increases?
they move faster, eventually changing the solid into a liquid
