Chapter 1 Matter (Part 3/3), Sublimation and Deposition

⚠️ Disclaimer: DO NOT TOUCH DRY ICE WITH BEAR HANDS!

Key takeaways:
🧊 ➡️ 💨 *In some solids molecular attraction is weak* so changing the physical conditions, such as *adding heat* they gain enough kinetic energy to overpower attraction entirely, molecules fly into vast empty space as a gas, *skipping the liquid state entirely*.

This is called *Sublimation*.

💨 ➡️ 🧊 When the opposite happens; a gas changes into a solid without changing into a liquid first it’s called *Deposition* or *Solidification*.
