On heating a sublimate solid ,the molecules break free and escape from surface of the solid directly into vapour

Open in App

Solution

The kinetic energy of the particles at the surface of a sublimable substance is high due to which on heating, these particles acquire energy and overcome the interparticle forces of attraction.Such solids directly change into gases.
