Andre heated several solid crystals of a substance called iodine, and the iodine changed directly to a gas. The iodine gas then cooled and changed into droplets.

A change directly from a solid to a gas is sublimation, so the iodine first sublimated. When the gas cooled and formed liquid droplets, it underwent condensation; therefore, “sublimation, then condensation” is correct.
