The discussion revolves around the elements that directly sublime when heated, with a focus on identifying specific examples from the periodic table. Participants explore the concept of sublimation, including conditions such as pressure and temperature.
Participants express differing views on the nature of sublimation and the conditions under which it occurs. There is no consensus on a definitive list of elements that sublime directly, and the discussion remains open-ended with multiple perspectives presented.
Some claims rely on specific conditions such as pressure and temperature, which may not be universally applicable. The discussion also touches on advanced topics like phase diagrams and recent scientific claims, which may require further clarification.
Dry ice is not an element. Otherwise, all substances can sublimate: it is just a question of pressure.Prins said:I know that Arsenic sublimes directly when heated. So I want to know which other elements like this sublimates on heating throughout the periodic table. I also know dry ice.
