  •  When a solid substance directly changes its state from solid to gaseous on heating without going through the liquid phase, then this process is known as sublimation. The substance that can undergo sublimation is called sublimate.
  • Examples are naphthalene, camphor, ammonium chloride, benzoic acid, and iodine.
  • Naphthalene and camphor can sublime when kept in the open.
