    Substances undergo sublimation when they transition directly from the solid phase to the gas phase or deposition when they transition from gas to solid without passing through the liquid phase. These processes occur due to changes in temperature and pressure, which alter the equilibrium between the different phases of matter.

  2. An example of a substance that undergoes sublimation is dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). When exposed to normal atmospheric conditions, dry ice sublimes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.

  3. Deposition is the process where a substance transitions directly from a gas to a solid phase, skipping the liquid phase. This differs from sublimation, which is the transition from solid to gas.

  4. Sublimation is the transition of a substance from its solid phase directly to its gas phase without passing through the liquid phase. This occurs when the substance absorbs enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces.
