Question 7 • Chemistry

In which phase transition do molecules move directly from a state involving vibration of particles in a fixed position to a state involving random movement of high-speed particles?

Answer
A
sublimation
B
freezing
C
deposition
D
evaporation

Explanation

Particles that vibrate in fixed positions make up a solid, while particles moving randomly at high speeds make up a gas. The direct change from solid to gas is sublimation, so the correct choice is D, sublimation.
