The Difference Between Sublimation And Evaporation from chemistry notes

Sublimation and evaporation bring material into vapor phase, then what is the difference between two ?



Sublimation: The transition of a substance from the solid phase
directly to the vapor phase, or vice versa, without passing through an
intermediate liquid phase.


Evaporation: The conversion of a liquid (water) into a vapor (a
gaseous state) usually through the application of heat energy during
the hydrologic cycle; the opposite of condensation.
