1. Which one of the following best describe sublimation? A. A solid melting to a liquid which re solidifies.

B. A solid melting to a liquid which evaporates, the vapor condensing to a liquid and then recrystallizing.

C. The movement of gaseous particles so that they fill the spaces that they occupy.

D. A solid forming a vapor on heating and reforming as a solid on cooling.

E. The bombardment of large molecules by small molecules.

i think it is D.

Explanation:

The answer is D because it’s where a solid turns to a gas without going through a liquid phase if that makes sense

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
