Definition |
In this process gases cools down and liquid is formed |
In this process gases absorbs heat and change into vapour state |
In this process a substance is directly changed from solid to gaseous stste. |
|
Occurs |
Gas cools down |
Liquid heats up |
Exposed to reduced pressure |
|

Sublimation
Sublimation is an interesting phenomenon, wherein the gas is derived from a solid without passing through the liquid phase. Sublimation is shown by camphor in real life as it directly goes from the solid to the gaseous state, without passing through the liquid state.
In this article, we will learn about, Sublimation Definition, the Process of Sublimation, the Application of sublimation, and others in detail.
