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.

How can 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


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.


What is the phase for changing solids to gasses?

This process is called sublimation.


How can solid change?

What types of physical or state changes can solids undergo?

Solids can undergo changes such as melting, sublimation, and deformation. Melting occurs when a solid turns into a liquid, sublimation is when a solid transitions directly into a gas, and deformation involves the restructuring of the solid's shape without changing its state.


The ability of some solids to change directly from a solid to a gas is a?

Sublimation is where a solid turns into a gas directly without a liquid stage.Many solids are able to do this under the right temperature and pressure conditions. Common examples are iodine and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).


Sublimation can occur because solids like liquids have?

Vapor pressure


Can solids evaporate?

Only certain solids evaporate. Most solids melt before evaporating. When a solid turns straight into a gas, it is called sublimation. Examples of substances that sublime include carbon dioxide, iodine, arsenic, and naphthalene.


What is the process called when solids vaporise without melting?

The process is called Sublimation.


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.


At which temperature does a solid become a gas?

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.
