What happens to the atoms in a scoop of ice cream as it melts?
Describe the conditions necessary for sublimation to occur.
Sublimation occurs because the atoms in a solid must gain enough energy to form a gas without passing through the liquid state. Low air pressure and large amounts of energy, often in the form of heat, allow the atoms to move fast enough to overcome the attractive forces between them.
What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.
Determine which change of state is being described in this passage.As the temperature decreases, the atoms lose energy. The atoms begin to move slower. They are held together by attractive forces, but are still able to slide past each other.
