Sublimation
Sublimation is the process of solids converting straight to gases. When solids absorb enough energy, the forces of attraction between them are totally eliminated. Sublimation occurs when solids, such as dry ice, are heated. We can’t forget about air fresheners while we’re talking about sublimation examples. Solid air fresheners (such as those used in toilets) have a distinction for being exquisite in nature.
Change of State of Matter
When cubes of ice melt into water or liquid boils into vapor, you may have seen changes in states of matter, but have you ever wondered why the substances change their form? When matter loses or gains energy, it changes its condition. When a substance gains energy, its molecules or atoms move faster, and extra kinetic energy pushes the particles at a sufficient distance apart from one another that their shape changes. Typically, this energy is called thermal energy or heat. Let us look at the science supporting the shifting states of matter in this post.
