Question about sublimation
« on: November 14, 2006, 07:38:52 AM »
hi , i have a questions about sublimation

Why some substances like  benzoic acid , nephthalene , and comphare can be sublimated , i .e why it can convert ( by a low heating ) from the solid state directly to the gaseous state without passing from liquid state ?
