How do you explain the change from solid to gas that you see between the elements carbon and nitrogen?

Answer 1

Before attempting to explain it, I'd have to figure out what the question means. There are no elements between carbon and nitrogen... carbon is Z = 6, and nitrogen is Z = 7. Since confinement prevents us from having part of a proton, there's no room to shove any more elements in there.

Answer 2

The change from solid to gas between carbon and nitrogen occurs because of their different boiling points. Carbon has a higher boiling point than nitrogen, so it transitions directly from solid to gas at a lower temperature compared to nitrogen. This difference in boiling points is due to the unique atomic structure and intermolecular forces of each element.
