Definition Sublimation is a phase transition process in which a substance transitions directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase. This occurs when the temperature and pressure conditions are such that the solid’s vapor pressure exceeds its melting point, making the liquid phase unnecessary. …
Changes in the State of Matter
Matter can undergo various transformations between its different states—solid, liquid, gas, and plasma—due to changes in temperature and pressure. These transitions are crucial in understanding the behavior of substances under different conditions. Here’s a detailed exploration of these state changes: 1. Melting (Solid to Liquid) Process: When heat is applied …
