  1. Sublimation (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    Sublimation is caused by the absorption of heat which provides enough energy for some molecules to overcome the attractive forces of their neighbors and escape into the vapor phase. Since the process …

  2. Sublimation: Definition, Examples, and Applications - Chemistry Learner

    Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase under specific conditions of temperature and pressure.

  3. Sublimation | Definition, Examples, & Facts | Britannica

    Sublimation, in physics, conversion of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without its becoming liquid. An example is the vaporization of frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) at ordinary …

  4. 2.5: SUBLIMATION - Chemistry LibreTexts

    Sublimation describes the process of a solid becoming a gas, without passing through the liquid state. The gas phase is then typically crystallized on a cold surface. However, many sublimations require …

  5. Sublimation | CHEM101 ONLINE: General Chemistry - Lumen Learning

    “Sublimation” reviews the vapor pressure of a liquid and its dependence upon temperature. Solids also have a vapor pressure, though it is generally much less than that of a liquid. A snow bank will …

  6. Sublimation (chemistry) - New World Encyclopedia

    In chemistry, sublimation is the process by which a substance undergoes conversion from the solid phase to the gas phase, without going through an intermediate liquid phase.

  7. Sublimation: Examples, Application, Phase Diagram - Science Info

    Jun 5, 2023 · When a substance changes directly from its solid state to its gaseous state, this transition is known as sublimation in the chemical sciences. Crystalline iodine and solidified carbon dioxide are …

  8. How does sublimation work in chemistry? - California Learning …

    Jan 12, 2025 · Sublimation is a chemical phenomenon where a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase. This process occurs when a substance is heated to …

  9. 6.3A: Overview of Sublimation - Chemistry LibreTexts

    Sublimation is an analogous process to boiling, as it occurs when a compound's vapor pressure equals its applied pressure (often the atmospheric pressure). The difference is that sublimation involves a …

  10. Sublimation Definition (Phase Transition in Chemistry)

    Jan 9, 2020 · Sublimation is the transition from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. This endothermic phase transition occurs at temperatures and …
