Question

During sublimation particles in a solid room deodorizer move directly into the air as a gas how does the movement of the deodorizer particles change? the particles ___.
A) move fast enough that the attraction between particles is overcome completely

B) Lose enough energy that the movement completely stops

C) Move slowly enough that strong attractions form, pulling the particles together

D) Are only able to slip and slide past each other

Answer 1

The answer is a, move fast enough that the attraction is overcome

Answer 2

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sublimation is a process in which molecules of a solid substance are converted directly into gaseous phase without undergoing liquid phase.

This is because solid particles absorb the heat from their surroundings due to which bond between the molecules are broken down. As a result, molecules gain kinetic energy and they move rapidly into the atmosphere.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation the particles move fast enough that the attraction between particles is overcome completely.
